What you need to make crispy oatmeal cookies
The best part about these healthy oatmeal cookies? They’re easy to make, take only 15 minutes, are made in one bowl and you probably already have all of the ingredients for them in your pantry! You’ll need:
Oat flour: I love the flavor of using Oat flour in these cookies! However, you can also use all-purpose flour or whole wheat flour if you don’t have any oat flour on hand. Super-versatile recipe!
Rolled oats: To get the best texture and flavor combination, reach for old-fashioned oats over instant oatmeal.
Melted coconut oil: Make sure the coconut oil is melted when preparing the oatmeal cookies. You can also swap out the coconut oil for butter.
Milk: I’m using oat milk, but feel free to use any type of milk, dairy or dairy-free. Water works to.
Raw sugar: These oatmeal cookies are perfectly sweet with a little bit of raw sugar. You can also substitute with any sweetener if you’d rather.
Salt: Bring out the sweetness with a dash of salt!
Vanilla: an essential for yummy baked goods.
Baking soda & salt: to ensure these bake up properly.

How to make healthy oatmeal cookies
To get started, preheat your oven to 355F/180C (top and bottom heat) and line baking sheet with parchment paper. Then follow along below.
Whisk the first set of ingredients. That includes the melted coconut oil, raw sugar, milk, salt and vanilla extract.
Stir in the rest of the ingredients. Add the oat flour, rolled oats, baking powder and stir until combined. Add your favorite Add-ins. Allow the mixture to chill in the fridge until the coconut oil has hardened and the dough looks more solid.
Dollop the cookies onto the baking sheet. Use a medium cookie scoop (which is about 2 tablespoons) to dollop 12 cookies. Roll to form a round shape (1 inch diameter). Then use your fingers to flatten the dough into cookie shape.
Bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the cookies are slightly golden. But be sure to keep your eyes on them!
How to store crispy oatmeal cookies
To store: Pack your leftovers in a bag or container, and they’ll keep for up to one week. You can store them either in the fridge or at room temperature.
To freeze: If you want to save a few sneaky pieces more than one week, you can freeze them! Just make sure to place parchment paper in between each cookie and store in a freezer-safe bag or container. They will be good for up to 3 months.
To defrost: Just let the cookies come to room temperature before eating.
