Chewy Chocolate Oat Cookies!
These Chewy Chocolate Oat Cookies are a super quick and simple treat. These cookies are so soft and incredibly chewy. I think they’re one of the simplest cookies I have ever made. They come together in a few minutes and only a couple of steps – just blend everything together and then stir in the oats.
They’re vegan, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. These cookies are also super healthy. They’re loaded with healthy fats from the almond butter and coconut oil, and the oats add complete carbohydrates. These are lightly sweetened with dates, which also provide fibre and nutrients.
I like to store these cookies in the freezer and take out a couple at a time. I bring them to school for snack and let them thaw out before eating them.

I love making these cookies for snack! I use peanut butter instead of almond butter.
