Sprouted Chocolate Chip Cookies and Why Sprouted Flour is Healthy For You!

Sprouted Chocolate Chip Cookies

So I have many many varieties of homemade chocolate chip cookies because my girls just absolutely love them and so do I!  We just love dipping them in fresh milk.  Don’t you just love my daughter’s fresh milk mustache in the picture above? 🙂  I have created an almond flour chocolate chip cookie, a coconut flour chocolate chip cookie and now a sprouted flour chocolate chip cookie.

So why sprouted flour?  There are so many health benefits to sprouted flour.  Here are just a few.

  • Easier to Digest – Sprouting breaks down the starches in grains into simple sugars so your body can digest them like a vegetable (like a tomato, not a potato).
  • Increased Vitamin C – Sprouting produces vitamin C.
  • Increased Vitamin B – Sprouting increases the vitamin B content (B2, B5, and B6).
  • Increased Carotene – Sprouting increases the carotene up to eight times.
  • Increased Enzymes are actually produced during sprouting.
  • Reduction of Anti-nutrients – Sprouting neutralizes enzyme inhibitors and phytic acid, which is a substance present in the bran of all grains that inhibits absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc.
According to Sally Fallon Morell, president of The Weston A Price Foundation and author of Nourishing Traditions (page 112 of Nourishing Traditions), “The process of germination not only produces Vitamin C but also changes the composition of grains and seeds in numerous beneficial ways.  Sprouting increases Vitamin B content, especially B2, B5, and B6.  Carotene increases dramatically – sometimes eightfold.  Even more important, sprouting neutralizes phytic acid, a substance present in the bran of all grains that inhibits absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, and zinc; sprouting also neutralizes enzyme inhibitors present in all seeds.  These inhibitors can neutralize our own precious enzymes in the digestive tract.

 

A portion of the starch in grain is transformed into sugar. Sprouting inactivates aflatoxins, potent carcinogens found in grains.  Finally, numerous enzymes that help digestion are produced during the germination process.”

I should also note that it is important to use your flour quickly after the grains have been sprouted and then ground into flour.  You can prolong the life of the flour by storing it in the freezer.  I am in the process of learning how to sprout my own grains and then grind them into flour, but in the meantime, I found an excellent company that sprouts to order.  That’s right…they will not grind the sprouted grains into flour until they receive your order and then the ship it so you receive it quickly (usually within 2-3 days) and then alls you have to do is keep it in the freezer and it will last over 6 months with its nutritional value still intact.  To Your Health Sprouted Flour Co. has returned to the traditional practice of sprouting grains in order to render them more nutritious and digestible.  They nurture the grains in their facility, allow them to sprout, then dry them at a very low temperature, to maintain precious vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.  Then when the flour is ordered, they will grind the flour and ship it right to your front door.  Again, I am not making any money by endorsing this product, I  just love their story on how they started small and gradually grew without compromising quality.  I e-mailed them to make sure their grains were certified organic and GMO-free and the quickly responded back that they were.  I use their flour to make pancakes, muffins, and baked goods.

Another company I use when purchasing sprouted flour is Shiloh Farms Sprouted Flour.  This is also a great company to purchase sprouted flour from and has the same philosophy as To Your Health Sprouted Flour Co.  This will give you several options if you want to purchase some sprouted flour on line.

 

So this recipe is so easy that my daughter made them and I just photographed her as she made them.  Here are the simple steps for you to follow.  Even the neighbors enjoyed these delicious cookies 🙂

 

Here are the ingredients that you will need.  Sprouted flour, baking soda, salt, coconut oil, grass fed butter, sucanat, coconut sugar or Rapunzel sugar (unrefined sugar), vanilla, eggs, and enjoy life mini chocolate chips.

    These cookies as well as the flour are not gluten free. That being said, when the grain is sprouted, a lot of the gluten protein is broken down, but it is not gluten free. I have included two chocolate chip cookies recipes in this post that are gluten free.

    if you go through amazon (I provide the links at the very bottom of the post) you can get free shipping if you buy over $25. You could try fresh market Dana, but my guess is that you will have to goto whole foods in Hilton Head, Savannah doesn’t have a lot to choose from. If I recall, there is a health food store Forsyth park on north end. Let me do some research for co-ops in your area 🙂

    A lady at Church taught me how to make sprouted grain flour, but she always ground her’s fresh (daily or every-other) as needed…which is what I’ve continued to do….because she said the nutrients are only at their most beneficial for the first 48 hrs. If that’s the case, buying this flour would be no different then buying other organic (non-sprouted) flour….right?

    Reply
  12. Whole Lifestyle Nutrition says

    March 11, 2012 at 3:12 am

    not necessarily. Your friend from church is right that you want to use it quickly before it loses their nutrients, but you can freeze the flour and it will not lose its nutrients from there. The company I showcased in this post grinds only when order, so it doesn’t sit on the shelf and I got mine in 2 days from when I ordered it and put it right in the freezer. I am looking into buying a grain mill Michelle, do you have a recommendation since you have experience with grinding your own flours? I just took a seminar on all the different grain mills and what to look for, but would love to hear your own personal opinion if you don’t mind.

    She gave me mine second hand….it’s old and noisy but better then a hand crank….I too want to look into a new one but haven’t started the research yet…of course Nutrimill is rated #1, so I guess I’d start there. 😀 I’m struggling right now with supporting businesses that are not environmentally friendly and sustainable….finding good healthy food is a walk in the park compared to other household needs, lol!! So, I’ll continue to use my 2nd hand one until I get over this problem or find a solution. 😀

    I guess I just never researched the sprouted flour because I took her knowledge at face value but maybe using all that freezer storage wasn’t an option for her so she didn’t think to pass it on…..which I totally get because someone gave me 50lbs of organic brown rice flour the other day to practice some gluten free recipes with and I can’t believe how much I miss the fridge space that I thought was extra…I have to get baking so I can have my shelf back!! 😀
