Ingredients and Benefits:

Oat flour: Rich in fiber, antioxidants, protein, and vitamins for healthy digestion, regulated blood sugar, and metabolic health. Sub oat flour for einkorn or all purpose flour too

Greek yogurt: I purchase pasture-raised and grass-fed when I can for higher levels of omega 3s. Greek yogurt is high in protein, probiotics, and calcium

Grass-fed butter: Rich in vitamin k2 and A, CLA, beta-carotene, and health fats for digestion, hormones, and skin health

Coconut sugar: An unrefined sugar with a lower glycemic index that retains more nutrients and inulin. Inulin is a prebiotic fiber that can help stabilize blood sugar

Ceylon cinnamon: Packed with antioxidants, benefits the metabolism, and was shown to improve blood sugar levels

So what are you waiting for? MAKE THESE! Everyone will be so impressed and can feel good indulging in this nourishing recipe!
