Flourless Oat Cookies

Oh. Em. Gee!!! I have finally put together the yummiest, healthiest, flourless, dairy-free, and soy-free oat cookies!!! And, my kids are obsessed which makes me feel so good because it’s all clean and healthy ingredients! Chocolate chip cookies are my weakness and because I’m on a paleo diet, I can’t have the traditional cookies. So, these are the perfect guilt-free chocolate chip cookies. I basically took my regular flour chocolate chip cookies and tweaked it so many times until it was perfection and suitable for my latest lifestyle. I am really shocked of how good these turned out; texture-wise and taste. And, they are so versatile - you can substitute these ingredients with anything you desire to make it suitable for your dietary needs or cravings.

You can use your favorite nut butter or mashed ripe bananas in replace of tahini, or nuts and dried fruit in replace of chocolate chips. You can get really creative and the variations are endless.

Let’s get started.
