When baking gluten, dairy, and soy free cookies, it’s easy to find alternative ingredients. You can sub in almond or coconut flour, almond milk and butters, agave, dairy free chocolate etc. One thing that can be hard to find a healthy alternative to are sprinkles.
That’s where Go Supernatural Sprinkles come in handy! These sprinkles are an allergy friendly, clean baking substitute. Their food colors are plant based, have no GMOs, and are soy, vegan, gluten, and palm oil free! You can find Supernatural Sprinkles on Amazon and in Whole Foods.
When my friend Dee, @burpeesbeforebrunch, got gifted with these sprinkles we decided to give them a try. We used Rachel Mansfield’s chocolate chip ginger cookies for the base and made a paleo frosting. This was a baking marathon! Check out all the recipes below and be on the lookout for another Supernatural recipe using their new Girl Pow! Sprinkles!
