Let's talk about key ingredients
Cinnamon: Aromatic and Health-Boosting Spice
Cinnamon not only adds a cozy warmth to your culinary creations but also provides a range of health benefits. This fragrant spice has been celebrated for centuries due to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, supporting overall well-being. It may help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity, making it particularly beneficial for those managing diabetes or blood sugar imbalances. Including cinnamon in your diet may also aid digestion, support heart health, and even boost cognitive function.
Why use Cinnamon Bark Vitality oil instead the spice?
Our Cinnamon Bark essential oil is known for its immune-boosting properties and its ability to support healthy digestion. Our essential oils are so concentrated just a few drops are needed in a recipe. The punch of flavor is second to none! I love that essential oils last much longer than the spices themselves when stored in a cool dark place.
Almond Flour: Nutrient-Packed and Gluten-Free
Almond flour serves as a fantastic alternative to traditional wheat flour, especially for individuals with gluten sensitivities or those following a gluten-free diet. This finely ground nut-based flour is nutrient-dense, providing a significant source of healthy fats, vitamin E, protein, and minerals like magnesium and potassium. These nutritional powerhouses contribute to supporting heart health, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, reducing inflammation, and promoting appropriate blood sugar control. Almond flour's nutty flavor elevates the taste of our brownies.
Cacao Powder: Treat for Your Taste Buds & Your Health
The rich and intense flavor of cacao powder, derived from the cacao bean, is the secret ingredient that takes our brownies to the next level. Besides its delectable taste, cacao powder also offers a wealth of health benefits. It is packed with powerful antioxidants, which help protect the body against oxidative stress and inflammation. Additionally, cacao powder is a natural mood booster, as it contains compounds like serotonin and phenylethylamine that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. Moreover, it's a fantastic source of minerals, such as iron, magnesium, and zinc, contributing to optimal bodily functions.
