3 Health Benefits of Keto Cookie Dough Blondies
#1: Boosts Immunity
Monk fruit provides the delicious sugar-free sweetness that makes these low-carb blondies so irresistible. But its role as a sugar stand-in isn’t where the benefits of monk fruit stop.
What else does this fascinating plant have going for it?
Monk fruit (also known as Luo Han Guo), has been used for thousands of years in Eastern cultures as a medicinal plant. Among the many health benefits of monk fruit is its ability to enhance your immune system.
Compounds in monk fruit have antioxidant, anti-microbial, liver-protective, and immunomodulatory effects. That pretty much makes it an immune-enhancing powerhouse[*]
#2: Rich In CLA
There’s a reason this recipe calls for grass-fed butter and not your standard grain-fed butter. Grass-fed butter comes from cows that are allowed to graze and eat grass (as cows are meant to do).
This not only helps support humane farming practices, but it results in more nutrients in your milk products.
CLA is a type of fatty acid that’s found in meat and dairy. Grass-fed butter happens to be a fantastic source of CLA with up to 500% more CLA than grain-fed milk[*].
CLA supports your body in a variety of ways, from reducing body fat, to protection against cardiovascular disease and cancer. So maybe you should pour yourself a glass of full-fat grass-fed milk to enjoy with these delicious blondies[*].
#3: Antioxidant Support
Almond flour is full of nutrients that you wouldn’t find in processed white flour.
One of those nutrients is a mineral that gets very little time in the spotlight but has a significant impact on your health: manganese.
Manganese is part of an antioxidant complex called superoxide dismutase (SOD). Even the name sounds like a compound you don’t want to mess with.
SOD is said to be one of the most crucial antioxidant systems in your body. It works at the level of your mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) to protect your cells from oxidative damage.
When SOD isn’t working correctly, it can have serious effects on the function of your metabolism and potentially lead to the development of a number of diseases.
Getting enough precursors for this antioxidant system (like manganese) is one way to ensure its proper function[*].
Keto Cookie Dough Blondies
No one wants to admit it, but sneaking bites of raw cookie dough is the best part of the cookie making process. Ice cream makers get it — ahem, cookie dough ice cream.
So why not combine blondies and cookie dough as well?
And this time you don’t have to worry about raw eggs because the cookie dough you’re using comes in the form of a low-carb snack bar. Win-win.
If you want to jazz them up a bit, you can go wild and add your own ingredients like coconut or sugar-free chocolate chips. You can even add your blondies to a bowl of keto ice cream.
So grab a large bowl and preheat your oven to 350°F, it’s blondie time.
