The BEST Healthy Cookies! (gluten-free)

These are the BEST Healthy Cookies! If you have been looking for the ultimate healthy cookie, look no further than these. No flour, no sugar, no butter and they are absolutely delicious. Made with all gluten-free and vegan ingredients. 

These cookies are soft, chewy and made with just a few ingredients. They are the best healthy cookies ever. And I promise you – they are SO good! 

I highly recommend making these for a sweet afternoon snack. Or even a grab and go breakfast. They are made with all gluten-free and vegan ingredients and they don’t have any added sugar besides chocolate chips. No flour, no butter, nada! Yet they’re so tasty.

My 5 year old is obsessed with these and I love how much they satisfy the sweet tooth craving. I am all about the indulgence of buttery sugary cookies, but I also am someone who loves cookies everyday. And these are my everyday kind of cookie!

They are nutritious, such a popular recipe and they are great for adults, kids or anyone. You can keep these in the fridge for a week, freezer for a couple of months or on the counter in airtight counter for 3 days. I do find from the banana, it is better to store them in the fridge instead.

These taste so good, I cannot wait to hear what you think of them! Keep me posted if you try them too.

What ingredients you need to make these healthy cookies:

• Bananas – I love the flavor and texture bananas add but you could also do 1 cup applesauce if you wanted to instead
• Creamy peanut butter – or any creamy nut or seed butter can work here too
• Gluten-free rolled oats
• Non-dairy milk – really any milk works but I usually use almond milk
• Vanilla extract – for a splash of flavor!
• Cinnamon – love adding some cinnamon in these for flavor
• Nuts or raisins – I usually use chopped walnuts or raisins!
• Chocolate chips – dark, semi-sweet or milk chocolate all can work well
