Any kind of blogging requires you to create a content calendar- AKA where you plan out your posts. This is a great idea and helps me stay organized and look ahead at the month to shoot several recipes at once.

But sometimes, on a whim, I start testing in the kitchen and dream up something that’s a home run.

And then whatever was on the calendar to be posted gets thrown out the window because MUST SHARE THESE ASAP.

That’s what happened with these healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

They’re a healthy spin off from my legendary Best Ever Oatmeal Cookies. If you’re in a I-want-the-real-stuff-get-me-the-brown-sugar kind of mood, those oatmeal cookies are the ones for you.

But if you’re wanting a healthy(er) version made with coconut sugar and oat flour, these healthy oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are your jam!

Let’s talk a second about “healthy” cookies so we’re all on the same page.

Listen. A cookie is still a cookie.

It’s healthier than your store bought butter-and-sugar version, but it’s not like you can equate it with munching on veggies. I just had to say it, ok?

Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

Part of what I love about this food blog is creating recipes that are ten ingredients or less for people with busy lives.

If I’m cruising for a recipe for dinner and it has more than about ten ingredients, it gets x-nayed immediately (does anyone else say that?). I don’t have time for a sauce that uses the tear drops from unicorns and a extract from a rare south American plant.

These cookies are no exception to my rule. Here’s the (less than) ten things you’ll need:

• Coconut palm sugar
• Salt
• Baking soda
• Almond flour
• Coconut oil
• Eggs
• Vanilla
• Oats
• Chocolate chips

Coconut Palm Sugar – Coconut sugar gives sweetness to these cookies while being low glycemic (it causes a lower spike in your blood sugar when compared to white sugar). For reference, white sugar has a GI (glycemic index) of 60 while coconut palm sugar has a GI of around 35. High GI foods will spike your blood sugar and then cause you to crash, feel cranky or tired, and crave more high sugar foods.

Almond Flour – I tested these cookies with both almond flour and oat flour, and to be honest both were SO good. The oat flour cookies were chewier and had more of a true oatmeal cookie taste. The almond flour cookies needed a little less time in the oven and were a little more moist. Both cookies stayed soft!

• If you're using a cookie scoop, leave the dough in the ball shape. If you flatten them out, they cook faster and get a little crispy instead of soft and thick.
