There is nothing old-fashioned about my high-fiber, health-forward, texture-packed oatmeal cookies except the oats. I removed the sugar and fat from my mama’s cookies and packed them full of fiber and polyphenol protection to move things along. These daily dunk-ables are protectively packed with disease-inhibiting, whole food derived B-glucan, soluble and insoluble fiber, plant protein, essential amino acids, and cancer-inhibiting polyphenols. That’s what I expect from a protective cookie—naturally included in Protective Diet recipes. Raw organic cacao bean nibs help us produce neuroprotective nitric oxide offering a pleasing nut-like texture. Enjoy reading the studies in the Pro Tips below that note how cardio-protective cacao reduces the hunger hormone ghrelin and promotes our intestinal microbiota. Diced banana peels do the same while providing the texture and fiber of raisins without sugar; no one will ever know. These cookies will warm your winter kitchen and cut baking costs by eliminating health-hitting, high-cost ingredients like oil, butter, eggs, nuts, and raisins. Get started by popping a box of protective organic soymilk in your fridge. Cold milk is essential for the ultimate experience of dunking the best sugar-free, fat-free, whole grain, high-fiber, plant-based oatmeal cookies. The Old-Fashioned Toasted Oat Cookies and Soft Batch Oat Cookie variations offer unique texture options to please the healthiest cookie monsters worldwide. With these recipes I have eliminated common fat-free rubber cookie challenges. The cooling step gives these cookies their crisp and irresistible chewy texture. I was blessed with a team of dedicated local taste testers this winter. They tasted one after another, day after day to help me create these three cookie recipes for the Protective Diet Community. Now that they are perfect and the cookie recipes are complete my friends are missing their daily high-fiber plant-based treats. Our health-promoting, immune-boosting cookies have introduced more friends to a Protective Diet. Every day we passively influence by sharing the protective treats and beverages that give us our healthy glow and high energy. We are walking billboards of health fueled by plants camouflaged as cookies. Eat well, share, and shine bright. You deserve props for being the healthiest person in your family and neighborhood. Everyone needs an inspirational friend who is the boss of their body and excited to share their testimony of optimal health and the benefits of a Protective Diet.
