I am in love with all of the nuts and seeds in these cookies! Nuts and seeds are good sources of protein, healthy fats, fibers, vitamins and minerals. They regulate body weight as their fats are not fully absorbed, they regulate food intake, and help burn energy. Mounting evidence suggests that eating nuts and seeds daily can lower your risk of diabetes and heart disease and may even lengthen your life.
AND THEY’RE DELICIOUS!
