Best Healthy Oatmeal Cookies

  • Prep time: 10 minutes

  • Bake time: 15–20 minutes

  • Yields: 8–10 cookies

Ingredients

  • 100g (3.5 oz) Oatmeal (rolled or quick oats)

  • 1/3 tsp Baking powder

  • 30g (1 oz) Coconut flakes

  • 2 tbsp Maple syrup

  • 2 tbsp Coconut oil (melted)

  • 40g (1.4 oz) Peanuts, chopped

  • 50g (1.7 oz) Apple, finely chopped (optional for moisture and flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the oatmeal, baking powder, coconut flakes, and chopped peanuts. Stir to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.

  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil. If you are using the finely chopped apple, fold it in now.

  4. Combine: Mix everything thoroughly. The mixture should be sticky enough to hold together when pressed. If it feels too crumbly, add an extra teaspoon of maple syrup or water.

  5. Form Cookies: Take a tablespoon of the mixture and press it firmly into a round patty shape. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, leaving a little space between each cookie.

  6. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies feel firm to the touch.

  7. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up significantly as they cool down.
