Why The Cinnamon Kitchen Almond Flour & Cacao Protein Cookies scores [L]CB3

Nutrition is a C on 21.4 g protein and 4.6 g fibre per 100 g, with no vitamins or minerals declared. Ingredients are a B but lose points for the sugar claim. Risk is a 3, driven mostly by 552.6 kcal per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 21.4 g per 100 g and fibre is 4.6 g, which in one 35 g cookie is about 7.5 g protein and 1.6 g fibre. Almonds, cocoa and flax seed supply most of both.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the grade rests on protein and fibre alone. Fat is high at 40.9 g per 100 g, as expected with 58% almonds.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B

The list is short and mostly whole foods: almonds, dark chocolate, coconut sugar, flax seed powder, baking soda, coffee and sea salt. No additives of concern are listed, and that keeps the grade at a B.

The refined-sugar-free promise costs ingredient points. Unrefined cane sugar in the chocolate and the added coconut sugar are both free-sugar ingredients, so the wording does not match the list. Percentages are given only for the almonds and the chocolate.

Energy is the biggest driver: 552.6 kcal per 100 g, about 193 kcal in one cookie. Free sugar adds to it at 8.6 g per 100 g, about 3 g per cookie.

Sodium is modest at 114.3 mg per 100 g, about 40 mg per cookie. Saturated fat and trans fat are declared as 0 g, so they add nothing to the risk number.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Does The Cinnamon Kitchen Almond Flour & Cacao Protein Cookies live up to its claims?

The refined-sugar-free claim does not hold, since unrefined cane sugar and coconut sugar are listed. The protein figure on the front is 7.8 g per cookie, while the panel gives 7.5 g.

  • On the pack

    “Refined Sugar-Free”

    Misleading

    A free-sugar ingredient is listed: unrefined cane sugar in the chocolate, plus coconut sugar. Free sugar is 8.6 g per 100 g, about 3 g per cookie.

  • On the pack

    “Contains 7.8 g Protein”

    Be careful

    The front says 7.8 g per cookie, but the nutrition panel gives 7.5 g per 35 g cookie. The protein is real, and the small gap is the only issue.

  • Product name

    “Almond Flour & Cacao Cookies”

    Holds

    Almonds are 58% of the cookie and the 70% dark chocolate is 23%, so both named ingredients lead the list.

  • On the pack

    “PCOS-Friendly”

    Be careful

    The pack gives no basis for this. The cookie has 8.6 g free sugar and 552.6 kcal per 100 g, so it is a treat, not a condition-specific food.

  • On the pack

    “Preservatives-free”

    Holds

    No preservative or other additive is listed. Baking soda is the only raising agent.

What's in The Cinnamon Kitchen Almond Flour & Cacao Protein Cookies?

Almonds at 58% and dark chocolate at 23% lead a short list. The sugars from coconut sugar and the chocolate, and the calorie density, are what to watch.

How we rate additives →

7 ingredients listed. None of them is an additive or watched ingredient in our research.

The ingredient list, read for you

Almonds (as flour and butter) lead at 58%, followed by vegan 70% dark chocolate at 23%, made from cacao, unrefined cane sugar and cacao butter. Coconut sugar is the added sweetener, flax seed powder helps bind, baking soda lifts, and coffee and sea salt add flavour. Only the almonds and chocolate carry a declared percentage.

Ingredients to watch

  • Refined-sugar-free promiseConcern

    Unrefined cane sugar in the chocolate and coconut sugar are both free sugars, so the wording on the front does not match the list. It costs ingredient points.

  • EnergyWorth watching

    552.6 kcal per 100 g, about 193 kcal per cookie and 387 kcal for the pack of two. This is the biggest part of the risk grade.

  • Free sugarWorth watching

    8.6 g per 100 g, about 3 g per cookie, from coconut sugar and the chocolate.

  • Protein and fibreFine

    21.4 g protein and 4.6 g fibre per 100 g, about 7.5 g and 1.6 g per cookie, from almonds, cocoa and flax.

  • No additivesFine

    No additive or preservative is listed, and trans fat is declared as 0 g.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
  • No percentage is given for the coconut sugar or flax seed powder.

What to know about The Cinnamon Kitchen Almond Flour & Cacao Protein Cookies

Almond and dark chocolate cookie, with a shaky sugar claim

A pack of two handmade cookies, 35 g each, built on almonds (almond flour and almond butter, 58%) and vegan 70% dark chocolate (23%). Coconut sugar, flax seed powder, baking soda, coffee and sea salt finish the list. It is sold to people who want a grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free cookie with some protein.

A cookie gives about 193 kcal, 7.5 g protein, 14.3 g fat, 3.0 g free sugar and 1.6 g fibre, with 40 mg sodium. Per 100 g that is 552.6 kcal, 21.4 g protein, 40.9 g fat and 4.6 g fibre. It is a dense, rich cookie, so the calories add up quickly: the whole pack of two is about 387 kcal.

The list is short and the main ingredients are real: almonds and dark chocolate lead it. The front promises refined-sugar-free, yet unrefined cane sugar sits in the chocolate and coconut sugar is added, and both count as free sugar. That hollow promise sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]CB3.
