Empowered Cookie introduced two new flavors, Pumpkin Chai Ginger Molasses and Peppermint Double Chocolate Chunk. The chewy cookies pack a guilt-free secret: they are low-carb, high fiber, high protein, diabetic-friendly, blood sugar balancing, dairy-free and contain 7g of plant-based protein.
Natalia Barr, a pastry chef, former athlete, and the founder of Empowered Cookie developed the recipe. Barr chose to replace traditional flour with almond flour and ground flax seeds to give the cookie a chewy texture while offering protein and fiber. The cookies are sweetened with coconut nectar instead of refined sugar which makes them suitable for diabetics and those looking to balance their blood sugar. Empowered Cookies have won the attention of foodies, athletes, parents with children who have food allergies, and health-conscious snackers. Customers enjoy them as a breakfast cookie because they taste like a buttery treat but are vegan and gluten-free.
