Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (sugar-free)
Hey hey foodies!
Here’s another treat using NuNatural’s new natural sweetener: tagatose.
There are several things I like about tagatose. While you can definitely taste a difference between it and sugar, it isn’t an unpleasant one. It’s delicious, VERY sweet, and replaces cup for cup. It also caramelizes the cookies like brown sugar does, which is great! It is also:
- low glycemic
- low calorie (6 cals per teaspoon)
- safe for diabetics
- won’t raise blood sugar
- prebiotic (feeds healthy bacteria)
- non- tooth decaying
- 100% natural
These cookies came out tasting very chewy and sweet. Please have patience with them when they first come out of the oven- they are very gooey, but if you let them sit, they firm up a little and remain very chewy. I much prefer this texture to crunchy cookies!
I am VERY happy with tagatose, and I’ve decided it’s my new sugar. I hope you love it as much as I do.
