Why I Love These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies:
There are so many reasons why I love this recipe. Some of them include:
- They’re Easy to Make: Mix all ingredients, scoop them, and place them on a cookie sheet and relax while enjoying the delicious smell of the cookies in the oven.
- They’re Healthier: These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are much lower in sugar than a traditional chocolate chip cookie and are full of nutrient-dense foods like eggs, flaxseed, oats and nourishing fats from coconut oil and natural peanut butter.

- They’re Delicious: These cookies are full of flavor, moisture, and have a crunchy outside with a chewy middle.
Recipe Suggestions:
- Eggs: Choose organic if you can. Do you want to make these cookies egg-free? For 1 egg substitute 1 Tbsp. of ground flaxseed meal mixed with 3 Tbsp. of water. Thrive Market has high-quality flaxseed that is perfect for this recipe.
- Sea Salt: Sea Salt will provide trace minerals as well as bring out the flavor of these cookies. Thrive Market also carries Redmond’s or Celtic Sea Salt Brands that I love!
- Coconut Sugar: This type of sugar doesn’t impact blood sugars as much as other sugars. If you don’t have it, you can use regular cane sugar instead.
- Add crunch! Mix in chopped pecans or walnuts in addition to the chocolate chips. You could also use natural crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth if you’d like.
- Make it dairy-free: Choose dairy-free chocolate chips like Enjoy Life brand. Available on Thrive Market.
Storage:
Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
