When looking to satisfy your sweet tooth while keeping control of your blood sugar, finding healthy and delicious alternatives can be a real challenge.

Recipe backstory:

There are moments when inspiration arises from necessities. As a passionate cook and type 2 diabetic, I wanted to create cookies tailored to the specific needs of people looking for low-sugar (low GI) options and suitable for diabetic diets. After a few trials, here’s a tasty and adapted recipe, offering a healthier alternative without compromising on taste.

Here are the ingredients you will need:

• Almond flour: Provides a moist texture.
• Walnut flour: For a subtle nutty taste and reduced carbohydrate content.
• Melted butter: Ensures a creamy consistency.
• Whole egg: Acts as a binder for the dough.
• Erythritol/Stevia: Low glycemic index sweetener.
• Dark chocolate chips: For a touch of indulgence without excessive sugar.
• Baking soda: Aids in rising.
• Fleur de sel from Guérande: Enhances flavors.

How to prepare these walnut flour cookies?
