You’re craving delicious decadent cookies, but you’re also trying to be good - so here’s my pretty-damn-healthy Chocolate Raisin Oatmeal Cookies! These are gluten-free, plant-based vegan and also whole food plant-based. But forget all about that because they’re also delicious and that’s all that matters deep down!
Seriously though - these delicious cookies are only 85 calories each so you can smash a few of them into your face guilt free. If you’re looking for something to pair this with consider serving them with a non-dairy ice cream of your choice. If you’ve got peaches on hand consider whipping together my Peaches Nice Cream to go along with it.
These cookies are totally customizable. If you want to make them a bit healthier feel free to omit the chocolate chips. You can add nuts or seeds and swap out any dried fruit that you prefer or have on hand. If you don’t have almond butter any nut or seed butter would work. Tahini is another option but it can affect the flavour depending on what brand you use.
These are healthy enough for breakfast or a snack, but also awesome for dessert. These are my Pretty-Darn-Healthy Chocolate Raisin Oatmeal cookies and you’ll be thanking me as you smash them into your face!
