lowcal + healthy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies
You don’t need me to tell you about the charm of chocolate chip cookies, so I’ll hop right into this magical recipe.
These delicious cookies are only 62 calories per serving! Even better, they don’t have any refined sugar, oil/butter, milk, or gluten. As long as you use vegan chocolate chips, these cookies are vegan. They won’t make you feel heavy or sick, unlike Tollhouse cookies, and have a decent nutritional content that’ll make you satisfied and energized. Add some raisins for a sweet, fruity boost!
ingredients
1 cup + 2 tbsp old fashioned oats, blended into flour (338)
½ tsp baking powder (0)
½ baking soda (0)
1 tsp sea salt (0)
⅓ cup cold applesauce (33)
2 tbsp maple syrup (109)
splash of vanilla (0)
⅓ cup sweetener (0) or coconut sugar (238)
¼ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (200)
optional: ½ cup raisins (90)
preperation
Whisk oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk applesauce, maple syrup, vanilla, and sweetener/coconut sugar.
Fold wet ingredients into dry. Don’t worry about over-mixing—there’s no gluten in the recipe. Add your mix-ins and gently fold them into your dough.
Let your dough chill in the fridge for about 10 minutes. In the meantime, preheat your oven to 350F.
Roll roughly 2-3 tbsp of dough at a time into balls and place them evenly on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For more uniform sizing, use a cookie scooper. For flatter, traditionally-shaped cookies, press them down a little. You should yield 10 to 11 cookies.
Sprinkle sea salt over the cookies. Bake for about 12-15 minutes.
Let cookies cool for five minutes before enjoying.
Enjoy!
