Almond Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies {Vegan}
Healthy Almond Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies-thick and chewy almond butter cookies with oats, dried cranberries, and chocolate chips!
Caleb loves dried cranberries. He calls them treats. Every day he walks up to our pantry door and yells, “Mommy, treat!” Before I give him a few dried cranberries, he has to give me a big kiss. It’s the secret password:) I don’t mind spoiling him with dried fruit, especially since I am getting kisses! I hope he will continue this little game until he is 18:)
The other day I got out the dried cranberries for Caleb and decided to make my favorite treat, cookies! I made Almond Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies.
Caleb wasn’t excited to share his dried cranberries at first, but after I told him we were baking cookies, he was more than happy to share! Caleb likes to help me bake cookies. He loves watching the mixer work it’s magic!
I wanted to create a healthy cookie so I used almond butter, Almond Breeze almond milk, white whole wheat flour, and oats. I didn’t use any butter or eggs. These cookies are dairy free and vegan! Just make sure you use vegan chocolate chips if you need the cookies to be vegan.
The almond butter and almond milk keep the cookies nice and moist. The oats give the cookies texture and the dried cranberries and chocolate chips add the perfect amount of sweetness!
These cookies have it all! I could easily eat that entire stack of cookies…and maybe I did. I will never tell:)
If you are looking for a new cookie recipe to bake up, try these healthy Almond Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies. I loved them and so did Caleb. I think these cookies are his new favorite treat. If he starts begging for Almond Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies every day, I might just give in…as long as he gives me kisses and lets me eat cookies with him!
