The Perfect HEALTHY Chocolate Chip Cookie

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until well combined.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
• Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
• Use a tablespoon to scoop the dough and form into balls.
• Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten with the back of a fork.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, until lightly golden brown.
• Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
• This recipe makes about 12-14 cookies, depending on the size of the balls you form. These cookies are a healthier version of the classic chocolate chip cookie, using whole wheat flour, oats, and coconut oil instead of refined flour and butter. The use of maple syrup as a natural sweetener also makes these cookies a healthier option.
• Oats are a great source of fiber, which helps to promote feelings of fullness and support digestive health. They are also rich in important vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium, and zinc. Dark chocolate chips provide antioxidants and add a delicious flavor to the cookies. Overall, these cookies are a great option for a healthy and satisfying snack or dessert.
