Are oatmeal cookies healthy?

Traditional oatmeal cookies do contain healthy oats, but they’re also loaded with sugar, white flour, and lots of cream. You can enjoy them in moderation, or make healthy oatmeal cookies with natural sweeteners, coconut oil, and no flour.

Ingredients and Substitutions

This section explains how to choose the best ingredients for healthy oatmeal raisin cookies, what each ingredient does in the recipe, and substitution options.For measurements see Recipe card below.

• oatmeal – Star of the show! You can try using quick-cooking oats if you want, but avoid steel-cut oats as their textures vary too much. You can also replace up to 2 tablespoons of oats with pumpkin seeds, whole flaxseeds, chopped pecans, walnuts, or a variety of nuts to add protein.
• Wholesome, delicious blanched almond flour – The only thing I use is almond flour, thanks to its fine grind and light texture in baked goods. And it’s much healthier than using white flour.
• baking powder – Prevents cookies from being too dense. Don’t use baking soda, they are not the same thing.
• Cinnamon – adds a warm, sweet spice to these cookies.
• sea ​​salt – Balances sweetness.
• Maple sugar – Naturally sweet!I prefer to use natural ones sugar free maple syrupbut you can also use traditional maple syrup, honey, or sugar free honey. Granulated sweetener won’t work because the wet/dry ratio of this healthy oatmeal cookie recipe requires it to be a liquid.
• coconut oil – This is a healthier alternative to butter, but melted butter works well too.You can also get Creamy Coconut Oil If you want the same taste.
• Egg – Make sure it’s at room temperature or the coconut oil will solidify when mixing. For vegetarian options, flax eggs should also be used as egg substitutes.
• Vanilla extract – Use high quality vanilla extract for the best flavor.
• raisin – I like the classic taste raisinbut if you’re not a fan, you can ignore them, or use Dried cranberries Fall twist.
