[FOODIE FRIDAY] Breakfast Cookies Without Eggs- Why No Eggs?

Are you ready for the 75-Day Holiday Transformation? It’s starting soon?

Gluten free is all the rage, but It’s tough to find gluten free treats without eggs. Below I have a good cookie recipe for you that is egg free.

You may be wondering why you shouldn’t eat eggs…

In the past eggs were associated with increased dietary cholesterol. Now we know that isn’t true.

What is common among many and not well known is that eggs are a common food allergen. My daughter, Maya had a food allergy test last year and she came up positive for eggs, dairy and beef. 

We tested her for food allergies because she had swollen tonsils, sinus issues, belly distension and trouble sleeping because she was breathing in and out of her mouth.

And she was only 7 years old.

After three months of an elimination diet removing eggs, dairy, beef and gluten, 95% of her symptoms were gone. She even lost her belly and never restricted calories.

It’s unfortunate that many don’t understand the powerful connection between food intake and symptoms. 

My passion is to help you with this connection. Let me know if you want to talk more about this.

If Maya continued to eat the foods she tested positive frequently, she would have experienced much more pain over the years: breathing issues, digestive complaints, sleep problems, fatigue, increased belly fat and more.

These are the typical complaints I often see with my clients who desire fat loss. 

Take home message: One man’s fuel is another man’s poison. The foods you tend to eat often may be the source of your pain. What I have found is that whatever you don’t want to give up is probably what you are addicted to. This is commonly dairy, gluten, eggs, wheat, corn and soy. Experiment by removing foods that are likely culprits, listen to your body clues and look for trends. I can help as needed, just let me know.

Now on to the cookie recipe…

These cookies make an acceptable, wholesome breakfast! You’ll notice that there is zero sugar added to these cookies – the sweetness comes from banana and applesauce. Feel free to add a large scoop of vanilla protein powder to the dough, to increase the protein content of each cookie. If desired, we sell the highest quality protein powders you can get on the market. 

While it does take some time to make a batch of these breakfast cookies, you’ll have instant breakfasts for days to come afterwards. Servings: 20
