Healthy Chocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookies

HealthyChocolate Chip and Oatmeal Cookiesare made with honey and whole wheat flour, delivering cookies that are thick, soft, and just sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth! These really are a healthier version of the traditional cookies and worth adding to your cookie rotation.

I’ve been working on all kinds of recipes of your favorite treats that feature whole grain flour (whole wheat and/or oats) and natural sweeteners (honey or real maple syrup). First up is this recipe for delicious chocolate chip andoatmeal cookieswith honey and whole wheat flour.

These cookies are thick, soft, and just sweet enough. They don’t taste too strongly of honey, have a smidge of peanut butter, and chocolate chips make everything better don’t they?!

These cookies aren’t low in calories, they still have some sugar — high quality dark chocolate chips and honey. They do have whole grains, more fiber, and coconut oil instead of butter, all of which I consider a bit healthier than the average cookie ingredients.

I know the ingredients in these cookies, which you can’t say about every treat that makes it into your kids hands (I’m looking at you Otter pops and fruit snacks). These are still a treat and you should approach them as such, but also applaud yourself for going with a healthier version of a traditional classic!
