I’m excited to share my go-to recipe for oatmeal cookies—one that’s wholesome, delicious, and guilt-free. These cookies contain no oil, no sugar, and no artificial sweeteners like syrup. Instead, they’re made entirely from natural, whole ingredients, making them a healthier alternative to traditional cookies.
If you’re trying to cut back on sugar but still want to enjoy a sweet treat with your tea, these oatmeal cookies are a fantastic option!
Make your own oat flour
If you don’t have oat flour on hand, it’s easy to make your own. Simply grind 1 cup of oats in a blender until it reaches a fine consistency. If you don’t have a blender, feel free to substitute with another flour of your choice. However, for gluten-free cookies, you can use 2 cups of oats and skip the flour altogether. In this case, let the batter sit a bit longer after mixing to allow it to thicken.
Healthy, No-Sugar Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Oats
- 1 cup Oat flour
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
- 50 g Walnuts chopped
- ½ cup Raisins
- 1 medium Apple peeled and diced
- 1 medium Banana mashed
- ¼ cup Water
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 2 tbsp Lemon Juice
Instructions
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the oats, oat flour, cinnamon, walnuts, raisins, and diced apple.
- Prepare the wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, mash the banana with a fork.
- Add the water, baking soda, and lemon juice. You’ll notice the soda reacting with the lemon juice—once the fizzing subsides, pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.
- Combine everything: Stir the wet and dry ingredients together until fully mixed.
- Shape the cookies: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop dollops of the batter onto the baking sheet, shaping them into cookies.
- Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Let them cool slightly before enjoying.
