Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies – Even my kids can’t tell these healthy cookies are gluten free and sweetened with honey! It doesn’t get better than healthy dessert!
Hello! It’s Tiffany from Feel Great in 8, I’m excited to be back today with another delicious, healthy recipe (that you’d never guess was healthy!). Seriously, even my kids couldn’t tell that these Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are made without any flour or refined sugar!
That makes this the perfect mom recipe! I never want my kids to feel deprived or like they are missing out. I want to be the mom that has cookies waiting when they get home from school and I love baking with my girls. But, I also worry about making sure my kids eat plenty of healthy foods and don’t overdoes on sugar.
Like I said, these cookies are perfect! Made with only real food ingredients – oats, honey, unrefined coconut oil, and natural peanut butter. I even used healthy dark chocolate chips and all my kiddos and their neighborhood friends devoured them!
Before I share the recipe, there is one tip you need to make this recipe perfect. When you mix the dough, you’ll add melted coconut oil. You can cook the dough immediately, but with the melted oil the cookies will end up flat as a pancake. If you’re a fan of flat cookies (my husband loves them), go ahead and cook the dough right away. But, if you prefer fluffier cookies, you’ll want to chill the dough for 30-45 minutes first.
I will usually make one pan immediately and let the other half of the dough chill for a bit. Flat cookies for my husband and fluffier cookies for me. The kids love them either way. 🙂
After you try these awesome healthy cookies, come back and try some of my other favorites!
