The best healthy oatmeal cookies. No applesauce or bananas were involved in the process of making these cookies. NOPE. You won’t find any fruit in these cookies! Because when I want cookies, I want cookies. And when I want fruit, well….I just want just plain fruit. These cookies are my favorite, small batch oatmeal cookies that are semi-guilt free and without any weird ingredients!
Oatmeal cookies are my jam and I am always on a mission to come up with a cookie that tastes as good as a regular ol’ oatmeal cookie, but without all the added sugar and fat. So these cookies I am sharing today are my answer to that. And no…there’s no butter or fat in these cookies. And yes…they bake up just fine!
I also used THIS oat flour in these cookies. You can also use all-purpose or whole wheat flour instead. Or maybe you want to make your own oat flour?? Just throw some whole oats into a food processor and process until you get flour consistency!
The BEST Healthy Oatmeal Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons Swerve granular sugar
- 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon butter extract
- pinch of nutmeg
- pinch of salt
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 heaping cup quick cooking oats
- 4 tablespoons oat flour (can use all-purpose flour)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium sized bowl add all of the ingredients and stir until combined. Drop medium-sized cookie dough balls onto prepared cookie sheet. Dough will be a little loose, so use your hands to firmly shape into balls. Bake in 350-degree oven for 5-minutes.
Remove baked cookies from oven and let set on cookie sheet for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Cookies do not spread during baking. Option to press down on the cookie dough before baking to get more of a flat cookie shape.
