Cookie Oatmeal Recipes

healthy banana oatmeal cookie that tasted like banana bread

I started making these for my children when they were very young (and wanted to know what exactly I was putting in their mouths). Now they are a family favorite and a working mom's delight.

They have more calories than frozen waffles, but they are packed with good nutrition and keep you full until noon.These are great when made ahead of time. They are very dense pancakes and because they are so dense you can pop them into the toaster to warm up like an eggo. Simply wait until they cool and freeze them or seal them in a container for the fridge. They last about a week in the fridge.

I use oat milk because I am a vegetarian and want more protein than soy or rice milk can provide. However, I have used all the milks (including dairy) and they work fine. The calorie calculation is done with oat milk and brown sugar included in the recipe. Values will change depending on the milk you use and if you add the brown sugar or not.

Serving Ideas: Serve with fresh fruit or sugar free maple syrup.

With a few substitutions, you can make a much healthier version of normal cookies.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookie with very similar nutritional information to the cookie suggested in the meal plan.

The two ingredients which make these extraordinary cookies special are oats and butterscotch chips. These will disappear from your cookie jar in no time. Enjoy!

A high protein mookie - a muffin & cookie combo! Sort of like a cookie, sort of like a muffin...very tasty! High protein, low fat.

Milk free! (I recently added 1/4 cup of margarine to the recipe... they taste better with margarine. But, margarine can be omitted!)

These taste like little mini banana breads.

These cookies have reduced the fat by using light margarine and replacing some of it with applesauce. I have also replaced 1/2 cup of flour with flax meal and wheat germ. This makes them high in fiber, less than 100 calories each and totally DELICIOUS.

This is a slightly modified version of the recipe on the back of a bag of Hershey cinnamon chips. They taste great and are plenty sweet.

The original recipe adds 1/3 cup granulated white sugar and 3/4 cup raisins. Butter was used in the nutrition calculation.

Lower in fat, higher in protein, Lactation Cookie.

An enriched oatmeal cookie that can be tweaked with various additions to suit your taste. My calculations actually indicate closer to 5 grams of protein per cookie, but... even as figured here, this cookie is very dense and filling.

This is my version of this great snack using a melon baller to make small, bite size, cookie balls. You can have 3 for under 100 calories! They remind me of my favorite chocolate store candy-Haystacks, without all the calories and fat!

Quick & easy, healthier chocolate chip cookie recipe option!

This is one of my family's favorite cookies - a recipe from ?BH&G? that I had fiddled with pre-kids. Now a dedicated Sparkie... I wanted to calculate the nutritional value of what I was eating. (And even though I now know, I'm not changing a thing!) Hope you enjoy it.

Recipe from Cori Loughman of Greenfield, Ind.
A fantastic twist on a seasonal classic!
I lightened it up a little bit: from almost 700 calories per serving to under 350!

From the 1964 Pillsbury Bake-Off, this was one of the winning recipes. They are great! Texture and crunch with a bit of salt on top like a cracker; sweet like a cookie!

Not your typical flat cookie - these keep their shape and are more moist in the middle like a muffin
