What You’ll Need to Make Healthy Oatmeal Cookies
Rolled Oats – The base of these cookies, providing fiber and a chewy texture.
Oat Flour – Helps bind the cookies together while keeping them light. You can easily make your own by blending rolled oats into a fine flour in either a high-speed blender or a food processor.
Baking Powder – Adds just the right amount of lift, making these cookies soft and fluffy.
Coconut Oil – A healthier fat alternative that keeps the cookies moist and tender.
Maple Syrup – A natural sweetener that adds a rich caramel-like flavor without refined sugar.
Egg – Helps bind everything together for the perfect cookie texture.
Chocolate Chips (Optional, but Recommended!) – Dark chocolate chips add a delicious, melty bite to these cookies. I use and love Hu Kitchen refined sugar-free chocolate chips in many of my baking recipes!

Just made these healthy oatmeal cookies and they’re delicious! Perfect for breakfast or a snack. Very easy to make, a little bit messy, but still very simple. I unfortunately couldn’t find the measurement for maple syrup so I just guessed. But i highly recommend trying these cookies, I will be making them again!
