Tips To Make Healthier Cookies
- Use nuts or oats instead of regular flour. Almond flour and oat flour are a much healthier, more nutritious option when it comes to baking.
- Use quality dark chocolate. I usually buy 85% dark chocolate that isn’t overly sweet to use in my cookies and other desserts. Chop it up and throw it into the cookie dough or melt and sprinkle on top. 85% chocolate isn’t completely sugar free, but it has a much lower sugar content than for example 60% dark chocolate.
- Use dried or fresh fruit. It’s always a good idea to add to your daily servings of fruits and vegetables, even if they come in the form of cookies. Blueberries, raspberries, dried cranberries or bananas are all good options that you can add to your cookies.
- Use coconut oil or good quality butter in your cookies. Don’t go for ingredients that are rich in artificial and transfats (like margarine) or omega-6’s (like sunflower oil).
- Don’t use refined sugar and use less of it. Sugar is sugar, but usually the less refined you go, the better – coconut sugar, date sugar, even maple syrup or honey are some good options here. I personally find a little bit goes a long way.
I hope you got some new ideas and try some of these delicious healthy and quick cookie recipes!

Easy Healthy Cookie Recipes
Enjoy these easy and healthy cookie recipes! This collection includes no flour oatmeal cookie recipes, almond flour cookie recipes, no sugar and no-bake cookies made with simple wholesome ingredients!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 2/3 cups oats
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped (around 100g)
- 3 Tbsp chopped nuts
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
Instructions
- In a bowl mix the peanut butter, oats and chopped nuts.
- Melt the dark chocolate and the coconut oil. I did it using the microwave, heating in 30s intervals, mixing in between - it took me 2 times.
- Add the dark chocolate to the peanut butter mixture and mix them until combined.
- Take a Tbsp of this chocolate mixture and place on a baking sheet or a large plate that's been lined up with parchment paper. 1 Tbsp is for 1 cookie. Don't be discouraged if the mixture loses its shape and becomes more of a bark and not that much of a cookie - still tastes great.
- Leave in the fridge for around an hour and then eat some. Store in the fridge in an airtight container (these melt at room temperature).
