Soft and chewy oatmeal cookies come with juicy blueberries inside - these may be the best oat cookies ever! Learn how to make healthy blueberry oatmeal cookies with this easy one-bowl recipe.
Servings: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 80 grams (1/3 cup) almond butter
- 80 grams (1/2 cup) coconut sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 150 grams (1 1/2 cup) rolled oats
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 to 1 tbsp preferred milk
- 60 grams (1/2 cup) blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 190 Cº (400 Fº).
- In a large mixing bowl add 1 egg, almond butter, coconut sugar (or your preferred granular sweetener)vanilla extract, lemon juice and salt. Using a fork or whisk, stir the wet mixture for a couple of minutes until all is well combined.
- Add to the wet mixture rolled oats (or a mix of rolled oats and protein powder, see notes*) and baking powder. Using a spatula stir, all ingredients together. Depending on the nut butter consistency, if it is too thick, the dough may require about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of milk.
- Carefully fold in the fresh blueberries, making sure not to smash them.
- Let the healthy blueberry oatmeal cookies batter rest for at least 15 minutes in the fridge
- Scoop some dough out and shape 10 cookies. Transfer the blueberry cookies to a parchment paper covered baking sheet, spacing the cookies apart.
- Bake these flourless oatmeal cookies with blueberries in hot oven for 10 to 15 minutes – mine took 13 minutes – and let cool over a baking rack before serving.
Notes
- For high protein blueberry oatmeal cookies, replace 50 grams (1/2 cup) of oats with 50 grams (1/2 cup) of protein powder. Depending on the type of protein used, you may need to adjust the consistency of the dough with some more milk (if using vegan protein powders or casein) or more oats (if using whey).
- Depending on the nut butter consistency, if the dough is is too thick it may require about 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of milk.
