Healthy cookies? Yes these butter less cookies are extremely healthy and contains very few carbs and are gluten free. With snack time a great challenge and salads being boring at times indulging on sugar and regular bakery products is quite challenging without allowing your body some extra pounds. These cookies are a wholesome solution. Check the avocado mustard salad recipe.
With super simple steps and easy 6 ingredients these cookies are a must try. We do a lot of baking and we also checked the regular chocolate chip cookies and the tiramisu eggless Lady fingers.
But these are a healthy solution to those unwanted carbs and allergies from gluten!! Check our healthy whole wheat banana bread and raspberry muffins.
With the creamy and soft avocado texture my cookies didn’t miss the butter. Avocado gave it a perfect blend. Coconut sugar or jaggery can help you control your carbs. And oatmeal will definately rescue from that gluten.
How does the cookies taste?
The cookies don’t taste bad at all. But for a beginner Vegan this might take time to develop taste for it! So though these are cookies, they are oatmeal cookies , so we cannot expect the perfect smooth and cookie texture. But these are slightly coarse and still chewy. The taste inclined more towards some kind of healthy bars shaped and baked in the form of cookies. This is my honest review. The cookies taste great but cannot be compared to the original chocolate chip cookies!!
Extremely soft, chewy it was hard to find the avocado in them. They were so good. Almond Meal and avocado completed my Protein requirements and chocolate chips balance all the sweet and chocolate cravings.
Weight Watchers, health lovers and my vegan friends will definately love this!!
My kids wouldn’t recognize the avocado and ate them happily!! So friends why wait??
A quick Oats Flour
You can either buy a gluten free flour or an oats flour from stores but in case you need a quick solution, You can easily grind your oats (any) in a high speed grinder and use that flour. The more fine you grind, the flour will be finer. You can adjust it from grinding it coarse to fine as per your choice.
Let’s check the recipe in detail
