Healthy Soft Pretzels. Yup, you heard right. These are soft and pillowy and feel just like your traditional pretzel. Plus, they are paleo, easy to make and you only need 7 ingredients.
I love making healthy versions of the traditional not so good for you foods. There is no reason to give up the recipes you love when you can make tweaks to make them more nourishing and better for you. These taste delicious with the Everything But The Bagel Spice but can also be made sweet with some cinnamon and coconut sugar. They key to the perfect pretzel texture is boiling before baking, this goes for bagels too. Once they are done you can have them on their own, with nut butter, or mustard.
Let’s get into the healthy soft pretzels.
