If you’re looking for a cookie recipe that’s beyond delicious, which can actually help you lose weight while boosting your immune system, and is also one the highest-fiber vegan cookie recipes around, well you’ve come to the right spot!

That’s because this delicious plant-based cookie recipe rocks barley flour and oats — two of the top prebiotic food sources of beta-glucan (BG). Well beta-glucan, turns out, boosts the fatty acid ‘butyrate,’ a metabolite that ramps fat-burning cells.

One report compares it to the popular weight loss drug Ozempic: “Butyrate induces the release of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is the natural protein that synthetic drugs like Ozempic mimic to stimulate insulin release.”

The chocolate and walnuts you can add to this recipe are super healthy! Walnuts are considered one of the healthiest nuts, and chocolate, cacao, and carob chips are nutrient-dense.

Ditto for other organic nuts, seeds, and fruits you can add.

And by the way, barley is the best source of beta glucans, followed by oats. 💚🌱
