Nut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Healthy cookies can be a tricky thing. If you don't do it right, they don't really taste like cookies at all and won't satisfy that craving, at least not for me. But these Nut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies scratched that itch no problem!

I’ve tried a recipe like this before and it was meh. But it had no added sugar at all. That one tablespoon of liquid sweetener made all the difference. The chocolate chips help, too. And these cookies definitely satisfy my craving for sweets.

Yes, these do taste like bananas but we’re okay with that. If you’re not, you might prefer our cranberry energy balls instead. If you don’t like oats, maybe something else here will help.

Unless you're going to eat them within two days, no judgment here, store these cookies in the refrigerator to extend their freshness. They're also kind of nice a bit cold right out of the fridge. But maybe I'm weird.

Don't feel like you have to use chocolate chips as your add in. Use your favorite! If you prefer raisins, do that. Or try chopped walnuts. I've made them with a mix of chocolate chips and cranberries and those were delicious. 


How about you? Are you team Oatmeal Raisin or Team Oatmeal Chocolate Chip?
