Why flour free, refined sugar free and butter free baked goods ?
As mentioned in the bibliography, the idea for these healthy baked goods started with a weight loss resolution. It was therefore essential to find healthy alternatives to those sold on the market.
In addition, the harmful effects of white flour, refined sugar, and butter on health are well known ; overweight, diabetes, hypertension, chronic cardiovascular, coronary and renal disease, metabolic disturbance, inflammation, digestion problems, dental caries, cholesterol.
Guilfree Bliss therefore advocates the fact that there is absolutely no need to deprive yourself of the finer things in life to lose weight or just to stay healthy.
What do you replace flour, refined sugar and butter with ?
In our products (and depending on the flavors):
- White flour is replaced by: oat flour, almond flour, coconut flour and protein (whey or isolate) with vanilla.
- The sugar comes from: the fruits used in the recipes (bananas, raspberries, blueberries, apples, etc.), the icing/topping (honey, chocolate chips, maple, oreo, grated coconut, etc.) and the vanilla protein. Applicable for the brownies and cookies ONLY: note that for texture reasons, a minimal amount of coconut sugar is used. I personally chose this sugar because it represents the healthiest alternative for me: it has a low glycemic index (so it doesn’t cause a sudden rise or fall in glycemia, which helps avoid fatigue for example), and it is rich in nutrients and antioxidants, unlike erythritol for example.
- The fat comes from: unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and nut butters/oils.
