Ingredients: 1/2 cup coconut oil (in solid
form) 2/3 cup brown sugar, packed 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 large egg 3/4 cup whole wheat flour (I
like Bob's Red Mill Organic) 1/2 teaspoon baking
soda 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 1/4 teaspoons sea salt, divided 1 1/2 cups rolled oats 3.5 ounces dark chocolate (1 bar), chopped (you can also use dark chocolate chips if you prefer) 1/2 cup dried tart cherries 1/2 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
It is a VERY cheap
form of sugar and food manufacturers use it frequently to sweeten items
like:
sodas, barbecue sauce, weight loss bars / drinks, jellies and jams, ketchup, peanut butter, etc..
But when you replace low - quality cooking oils with calories in the
form of sugar, white flour, or empty calories
like soda, replacing bad with worse never works to anyone's advantage.
