Can homemade cookies be healthy?
Nutrition FAQs
Yes, homemade cookies can be made healthier by using nutritious ingredients and making a few simple swaps. For example, you can:
- Use whole grain flour instead of refined white flour for added fibre.
- Incorporate healthier fats like coconut oil or avocado instead of butter.
- Add nutrient-rich ingredients such as oats, chia seeds or flaxseeds.
While they may not be a "health food," these adjustments can make for a nutritious cookie recipe and a better option for a balanced treat.
