Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies Healthy Recipe

These Healthy Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies are the perfect combination of a classic chocolate chip cookie and a hearty oatmeal cookie, also flourless and gluten-free.

These cookies are a healthier alternative to traditional cookies, as they are made with almond flour and oats instead of all-purpose flour. With a soft and chewy texture, they are a perfect combination of a chocolate chip cookie and an oatmeal cookie. Plus, they are flourless, making them a great option for those following a gluten-free diet. If you use extra virgin coconut oil, they will have a hint of coconut in the flavor. You can use refined coconut oil if you don’t prefer the taste of coconut.

These lighter cookies are sweetened with honey instead of white sugar. The dark chocolate chips add a rich, chocolatey flavor, while the coconut oil adds moisture and richness. These cookies are sure to be a hit with the whole family!

Healthy Oatmeal Cookies (4 Ways)

This recipe was actually created by ChatGPT (artificial intelligence). I asked it to create a healthy cookie recipe and this is what if gave me. I wanted to test it out to see if it would work and it did, with one modification. The recipe didn’t include the egg, which it needed to bind because without it, it didn’t stay together. It also didn’t mention to mix the dry ingredients first before adding the wet, so I adjusted this in the directions. I opted for Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips here to further reduce the sugar. Other than that I was pretty impressed with the results! If you try them let me know what you think!

It’s important to note that just because a recipe includes some healthy ingredients does not necessarily mean that the recipe as a whole is healthy. It’s still important to consider the overall nutritional profile and portion sizes when determining if a recipe fits into a healthy diet.

So my best friend Sarah announced on Facebook yesterday that she had just spent 4 hours creating the “Daniel Craig in Casino Royale 6 WeekMeal Plan” as requested by her husband, and if anyone wanted a copytheycould shoot her an email. (Click HERE if you want to see it! Thanks Sarah!) It is exactly what it sounds like: 40 days of meals similar to what Daniel Craig ate while training to be James Bond.

Eric and I were talking later and he was wonderingif he should do it. I said no, I prefer soft bellies actually (mine included, most importantly). And I also said, “Daniel Craig is like 65 and not cute. Like a grandpa. But with abs. It’s disturbing.”

Are you following a diet or any kind of meal plan this January? I had plans. But I also just ate 2 cookies, so…

But at least they were healthy-ish ones! My friend Amy from Amy’s Healthy Baking wrote a book all about Healthier Chocolate Treats and this is one of her recipes. How cool is that?? She is so talented. Her blog is all about healthy baking. Definitely check her out!

These Skinny Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfect for January! (Or anyone who’s trying to look like Daniel Craig…) They are moist and lightly spiced with cinnamon.

Seriously, you can’t beat a cookie made from scratch and I’m not just talking about taste. These are no store-bought treat made of low-quality carbs and unhealthy fats stripped of nutrients during processing and preservation. No! The first ingredient alone, oats, is considered to be one of the healthiest whole grains out there, chock full of important vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants! And that brings me to a good question.

Um . . . what even is healthy? Okay, I’m joking, but actually it’s good to step back now and again to think about what healthy means.

Breakfast Cookies (healthy!)

1.Calorie in versus calorie out. Balance. If you are eating fewer calories per day than you use, your body is still getting the daily calories it needs by burning excess fat, assuming you have excess fat. Otherwise, you are starving your body.

2. High-quality nutrients. Food doesn’t just provide energy (calories), it also provides the building blocks of life (nutrients). Variety matters. I don’t care how “healthy” kale is, eat nothing but kale every day and you will not get all your nutrients.

Folks, the good news is homemade oatmeal cookies can be a part of a healthy diet! The bad news is they have to be a small part of a healthy diet. (I hate it when there’s a catch.)

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Like I said above, these cookies have nutrients aplenty. But with all those nutrients comes a lot of calories, all inside a little cookie. When big calories come in small packages, you don’t feel full fast and that can lead to excess eating. One of the best things about this better-option cookie recipe is that it only makes 12-15 cookies, which helps to keep portions under control.

Oats are one of the healthiest whole grains, and that includes quick oats, one of the ingredients in these cookies. Quick oats are smaller, drier, flakier, and more processed than old fashioned rolled oats. (They are partially cooked and then dried. Good news, quick oats are still a whole grain.) Unless you’re in a pinch, use quick oats for this recipe. They absorb moisture and take on a softer, cookie-er texture than old fashioned rolled oats.

Now for the best part: baking! Here’s a simple overview of what to do and what to watch out for. (Step-by-step instructions given in the recipe below.)

2.Mix dry ingredients together: oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Make sure you spoon and level your flour. I always do it with two measuring cups. Scoop with one cup, dump it in the one you need, then level off with the top of the measuring cup.

4.Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until it has just come together. Don’t overdo it, over mixing makes for tough cookies. (Then wipe out the bowl you used for your dry ingredients and toss it back in your cupboard!)

5.Save out about half of the chocolate chips. Use a sharp knife to roughly chop the remaining chocolate, then fold it into the dough.

The chocolate chips are divided: half in the dough, half jammed into the warm cookies after baking for maximum showiness. If showiness isn’t your thing today, own it. Toss all the chips in the dough with reckless abandon.

6.Refrigerate the dough for about 30 minutes, or freeze for about 15 minutes. Don’t skip this step! Yes, we’re modern humans. Yes, we’re pressed for time. Yes, Daniel Craig has multiple action scenes as James Bond available on YouTube for you to consume while waiting 30 minutes. Chilling this lower-calorie cookie dough helps mimic the higher-calorie cookie texture and shape.

7.Shape the dough into about 12-15 cookies, depending on how much dough you ate. (What, just me?? I mean who can say no to this goodness??) Place on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.

9.Remove from the oven and immediately press the remaining chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies. They will melt immediately into pools of dark glory.

Before we move on to the recipe, here are some common issues with oatmeal chocolate chip cookies you might need answers about!

Traditional oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are made with a heck ton of butter. If you put a stick of butter in the oven, it’s going to bake flat, right? Same thing will happen to your cookies if you don’t have the right balance of ingredients.
