Heathier Halloween Oreo

These creme filled sandwich cookies are the perfect nourishing version of a store-bought classic! This recipe is so tasty, and honestly way more simple than I thought.

I was SO excited when I made and tried these because it was so decadent and a satisfying texture with the crunchy cookie and the creamy center. I naturally made these orange with pumpkin puree (you can omit if you do not want a Halloween treat) and the grass-fed butter is already a deeper yellow.

Ingredients and Benefits:

Almond flour: Use super-fine and I find it better to weigh out, however that is not necessary. It is higher in protein, fiber, and healthy fats

Cacao powder: Rich in flavonoids and minerals for anti-inflammatory benefits. You can substitute with cocoa powder if needed. I buy mine from Thrive Market for the best price and size!

Maple syrup: An unrefined source of sugar that is rich in minerals and some antioxidants

Grass-fed butter: Rich in vitamin k2 and A, CLA, beta-carotene, and health fats for digestion, hormones, and skin health

Date sugar: A natural sweetener that contains fiber, minerals, and antioxidants

Pumpkin puree:  High in fiber, prebiotics, antioxidants, vitamins A and C, carotenoids, zinc, and potassium

Salt: Brings out the chocolate flavor

Vanilla: Gives a delicious vanilla creme flavor
