Diabetic-Friendly Oatmeal Cookies 🍪
Ingredients:
1 cup rolled oats (use gluten-free oats if needed)
1/2 cup almond flour or whole wheat flour
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (for natural sweetness and moisture)
1/4 cup coconut oil or olive oil (melted)
1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or water
1/4 cup stevia or monk fruit sweetener (or sweetener of choice, adjust to taste)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (like walnuts or almonds) or sugar-free dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well-mixed.

Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the applesauce, melted coconut oil (or olive oil), almond milk, stevia (or your sweetener), and vanilla extract.

Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts or sugar-free chocolate chips.

Form cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form a cookie shape.

Bake: Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
