These lower-in-calorie chocolate chip oatmeal cookies might just be a little taste of heaven. This recipe calls for 1/4 of the butter and 1/2 of the chocolate chips when compared to a traditional chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. As a result, these classic treats are lower in calories and fat, but without sacrificing any flavor or sweetness.
The Healthy Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies are the perfect combination of a classic chocolate chip cookie and a hearty oatmeal cookie, also flourless and gluten-free. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Bake the oatmeal cookies for 12 minutes. When they are done baking they will be soft but will have golden edges. Cool the sugar free oatmeal cookies on a wire rack until they are all the way cool, then place them in a food storage container. Enjoy! Chocolate Chips - Mix in a few sugar free chocolate chips.
I feel oat fiber gives a nice almost-like-flour flavor to the dough and enhances the texture of the cookies. You can sub coconut flour for the oat fiber, but it will change the flavor and may slightly affect texture. Of course no chocolate chip cookie would taste right without a good low carb brown sugar substitute!
