Ingredients:
- 1 cup natural almond butter (just almonds, no added sugar or oil)
- ⅓ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons miNATURALS Inulin Powder
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
- ⅓ cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar for rolling (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, combine the almond butter, coconut sugar, egg, maple syrup, and vanilla, mixing until smooth and well incorporated. The natural oils in almond butter work synergistically with inulin to enhance its constipation relief properties.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, miNATURALS Inulin Powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg if using. This carefully balanced mixture creates the perfect foundation for cookies that provide gentle constipation relief while delivering rich, nutty flavor.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the almond butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the sliced almonds. The dough will be softer than traditional cookie dough—this texture is ideal for cookies that provide effective constipation relief while maintaining a tender crumb.
For best results, chill the dough for 15-20 minutes. This allows the inulin to fully incorporate and makes the dough easier to handle while preserving its constipation relief benefits.
If using the cinnamon sugar coating, place it in a small bowl. Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion the dough and roll into balls. Roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture, then place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Slightly flatten each cookie with the back of a fork, creating a crosshatch pattern characteristic of nut butter cookies. This not only creates an attractive appearance but ensures even baking for consistent constipation relief in every cookie.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set but the centers still feel slightly soft. For optimal constipation relief, avoid overbaking—maintaining moisture preserves the functional properties of both the almond butter and inulin.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. As they cool, the natural constipation relief ingredients continue to work together, creating the perfect chewy texture.
These Cinnamon Almond Butter Cookies demonstrate how delicious constipation relief can be—store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months for a ready-to-enjoy treat that supports digestive wellness with every bite.
