It’s not a secret that I have a major sweet tooth — I mean maaajor sweet tooth… hence the reason I have a baking blog and take photos of desserts! I really love sweets. However, for as much as I love sweets, I do actually try to make sure that the majority of what I eat each day, is made up of wholesome ingredients, to make sure my body is properly fueled. Some days though, I really just want cookies for breakfast! Of course, I usually restrain myself and save the cookies for my dessert after dinner, buuut, the other day, I was tasked with making a recipe with Bob’s Red Mill Oatmeal packets, and I was like aha! Idea!! Let’s make these oats into cookies! Or Chocolate Oat Cookies! These cookies are so easy, they only require six ingredients, and can be ready in 15 minutes. You can make the Chocolate Oat Cookies ahead of time so they’re ready for the week ahead!

The other great thing about these cookies, is that they’re made with Bob’s Red Mill Classic Instant Oatmeal, making them even better! Bob’s Oatmeal Packets contain a gluten-free blend of whole grain rolled oats and nourishing flaxseed, and are ready in 3 minutes. Plus, they’re 100% whole grain, vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO project verified and kosher. Providing you with the nutrients you need to keep you running through a busy day!

So these Chocolate Oat Cookies, ya, we can eat them any time of day, because they’re packed full of natural ingredients (okay except for the chocolate drizzled on top, let me have my joy okay!) the rest of the cookie I promise, is made of delicious natural ingredients. So now, we can have these cookies for breakfast, for a snack, or for dessert! Whenever we freakin’ want to!

These Chocolate Oat Cookies, have a nice crunch to them, with a chewy center. They’re so easy to make, it’s a little ridiculous, but that’s what I love! Oh and did I mention, that these cookies are gluten-free, egg-free, and dairy-free! They’re not quite nut-free, but you can always sub the nut butter for a seed butter or something along those lines, to make them work for you! Alright, let’s get to the good stuff — how to make them!
