Almond Butter Oatmeal cookies
I’m always on the lookout for recipes for cookies that feel more like a healthy snack than a dessert. My other criteria for a good cookie involve chewiness with lots of texture. I found this recipe http://havecakewilltravel.com/2007/03/10/chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookies/ and modifed it a bit to make these! Soooooooo goooooooood!!
Here is the recipe!
Almond Butter Oatmeal Cookies
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- pinch sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup dark chopped dried apricots
- 1/4 cup chopped dates
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 3 Tbsp natural almond butter
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp soymilk
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2. Whisk together flour, oats, salt, baking soda, cinnamon. Add dried fruit and chocolate
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together almond butter, oil, vanilla, brown sugar and milk.
4. Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix well. Scoop by spoonfulls onto prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork as these don’t spread much during baking. Bake for 7 minutes or until golden brown on top.

I have to chime in about these ones… they are absolutely amazing! It’s rare something tastes as good as these do but yet is as light on sugar and oils as these are. Highly recommended!
