Gluten-Free Breakfast Oat Cookies with Date Sugar are bursting with fibre, potassium and a hint of sweetness - thanks to LIVA Raw Date Sugar.
Nothing says get-up-and-go in the morning like breakfast????
And sometimes, you gotta get up and GO.
Like, now.
Downstairs to your office????
As you wipe off the random crumbs and clear away the dishes from the day before, these Gluten-Free Breakfast Oat Cookies with LIVA Date Sugar will help you power through those morning TPS reports in no time (Office Space, anyone?)
And I’m lovin’ how LIVA Date Sugar gives these breakfast oat cookies their sweetness and more nutrition than just regular ol’ refined white sugar.
So what exactly is LIVA date sugar?
LIVA date sugar is a pure, organic, all natural and versatile whole food sugar that you can use in place of regular sweeteners.
Where can I use date sugar in my baking and cooking?
You can use LIVA almost anywhere you’d use regular sugar – cooking, baking.
Just replace it 1:1 for regular sugar.
I can’t wait to try it in a punchy Pina colada, poolside this summer????
It’s the simple stuff that will really get us through this spring - and for the rest of the year, don’t you think?
And please friend. Do me a favour. If you’re looking to “get healthy” this summer, don’t overhaul your eating habits in one keto-kale filled weekend, k?
Just put a little healthy in there, one change at a time.
Small changes really DO add up. Don’t give up and throw in the towel; make changes you can actually live with.
Emphasis on YOU and ACTUALLY.
One change to consider? LIVA is lower in calories than many other sweeteners like refined white sugar. It has 15 calories and 3.6g of carbohydrates per 4g serving.
It’s got this amazing, almost rich taste too. It’s delicious.
So, date sugar. Like, dates? Just dates?
Yep! On their website, they say LIVA date sugar is made with only 2 ingredients: dates and love (awww.)
LIVA is solar dried for 2 days and then grinned into a powder. You get most of the nutrition that you get from dates, except the Vitamin C is done (that much sunlight will do that.)
It’s whole fruit sugar with nothing else added. And what’s great is that the fibre and antioxidants stay.
How cool is that? Man, talk about making every bite count. Now wherever I need some sugar, I can use LIVA Date sugar to give a little boost of nutrition.
