Gluten-free Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies

Lantana Foods Recipe Gluten-free Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies

This post is sponsored by Lantana Foods and Fit Approach. All opinions are my own. 

I’m not sure what’s come over me, but I’ve had Holiday baking on my brain lately. I’m usually not a big baker but when I laid eyes on the Lantana Cherry Hummus, I knew it was calling for chocolate – and lots of it! Double chocolate and I knew I had to make these Gluten-free Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies. 

I’ve never used hummus for baking, so I was skeptical at first. But my mind was put completely at ease once I tasted the batter. In my honest opinion, the sign of a good cookie is how yummy the batter tastes – am I right? This batter got my approval, which made me extra excited about these cookies. In this recipe, hummus replaces butter for a soft, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate-y cookie with a subtle cherry flavor. I promise you won’t miss the butter!

Known for their bold-flavored hummus, Lantana Hummus recently expanded into fruit-based hummus. All of their flavors are made with other beans, vegetables and fruit (not chickpeas). They’re non-GMO, vegan, gluten free and kosher and have mango, blueberry and strawbery flavors too!

These Gluten-free Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies make the perfect little Christmas cookie for your cookie exchange, Holiday party or who am I kidding … just sit down and enjoy one with a glass of your favorite milk! They’re gluten-free and lower in sugar than a traditional cookie so, chocolate lovers, you can double up on these Gluten-free Double Chocolate Cherry Cookies!

When I started losing my pregnancy weight, I felt When I started losing my pregnancy weight, I felt like I lost it everywhere but my lower belly. At 6 weeks postpartum, I was cleared to workout and told I didn't have diastasis recti, but the truth is, I should have been doing deep core exercises to strengthen my pelvic floor and support my core anyway. Fast forward to June 2022, with most of my pregnancy weight gone, I was frustrated with the "mommy Pooch" that was left behind. I tried everything from changing up my macros to focusing on traditional abdominal exercises and even TRIM's 'Banish the Bloat' program thinking maybe I was just bloated. 

About a month ago, I started focusing primarily on the deep core exercises in my Deep Core Guide (free copy at the link in my bio and linked in stories). These are the only Ab exercises I've done for the past 4 weeks. I've done them consistently everyday - it takes about 6 minutes at the end of my workout and the photo on the right is a recent one where it's clear these deep core exercises are working!

They're designed to target your transversus abdominis (TA muscles) and train your tummy to lie flat. Not interested in aflatter tummy? That's ok! They're still great for strengthening your core which is important for the overall health of your muscles and joints. For example, a strong core can help eliminate low back pain.
