My father has type 2 diabetes and I wanted to make something for him, something sweet. I know almond flour and oats are good for him, I bought some sugar free chocolate and I made these cookies. They freeze well so he can have dessert once in a while, he just needs to take one out from the freezer :-)

ReplyDeleteZoe I am glad you like it. You know, I am still daddy's little girl, I like to cook or to bake for him, I remember he did the same thing when I was a kid. If my mom was tired he made me something good.
