Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Baking season is in full swing in my home! So far I've made peanut butter cookies, pumpkin cornbread, a few variations of pancakes, and now these banana oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! With so many parties and events to go to, I always want to be sure I have something delicious to take with me but also something slightly healthy as well. These cookies were easy to whip up and remained healthy and delicious! Here is the recipe!  

Makes 30 cookies 

1.5 cups rolled oats  

1 cup spelt flour (such a healthy flour to bake with! Full of protein and fiber)  

1 cup stevia (cup for cup kind) or sugar 

2 bananas, mashed

3 T coconut oil  

1 egg  

1/2 cup water  

3 T semi-sweet chocolate chip morsels  

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Start by mashing your banana and coconut oil together. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the chocolate chips and mix thoroughly. At the end, fold in the chocolate chips! 

Line a baking sheet and make about 1-1.5 inch balls of the dough. Then bake for about 15 minutes or until the bottoms get browned. 

Let them cool and enjoy!  

Healthy White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookies

 

Today, I have for you a healthified cookie recipe which I went nuts over (pun intended). My husband also loved them and when they are hubby-approved, you know you’ve created a sensation! These cookies turned out so gooey with the perfect amount of chocolate and nut, which let’s be honest, is the best combo! Enjoy these as an afternoon snack or as a complement to any meal! Here is the recipe for healthified white chocolate macadamia nut cookies!

Makes 16-17 cookies

• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 T coconut oil, melted
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup stevia or regular white sugar
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 2 T white chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, chopped

First, whisk together the coconut oil, sugars, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Inhale and smell deeply, because this mixture will smell divine.

Then, slowly add the rest of the ingredients except for the chocolate and nuts. Once the mixture is a sticky dough, fold in the chocolate and nuts. Then place in little tablespoon dollops on a sprayed baking sheet, and press down lightly with a spoon. They will spread a little bit, so make sure to leave room!

Bake on 350 for about 10 mins. I took mine out a little underdone and let them finish “baking” outside of the oven. I LOVE chewy cookies, so this helped them turn out absolutely perfect!!!

Chocolate Chip & Almond Cookies

Whoa, that title is a mouthful, but I can't help but include all the yummy deliciousness that went into these cookies! I don't know about you, but I believe fresh baked cookies are good for the soul...and they have my RD approval for sure. Especially when they are made with wholesome, good-for-you ingredients like these cookies right here! These got made and baked in 20 mins flat and they were so easy, so I just had to share! Step right up for the recipe!

Makes 12 cookies

1 cup rolled oats

1.25 cups almond flour

1/2 cup stevia (or sugar)

1 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

2 eggs

3 T coconut oil, melted

3 T chocolate chip morsels or any other mix ins you'd like

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix all of the above ingredients together. You may need to add some water to get it to hold together well. Then, drop about 1 T of the batter onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Pat into cookie circles (these won't spread out tooooo much).

Bake for about 8-10 minutes. You can take them out just before they are done baking, while they are still slightly soft. That way they will continue baking on the pan and won't get too overdone/hardened!

Let cool and enjoy!
