Blueberry Oat Cookies
These healthy blueberry oat cookies are whole grain and naturally sweetened and perfect for snacking! They're easy to make and travel great, too.
Yield: 12 large cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (see notes)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup dried blueberries
Instructions
- Combine oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl and stir to combine.
- Combine yogurt, honey, egg and vanilla in a separate bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir to combine, but don’t overmix. Stir in the dried blueberries.
- Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with a silpat mat or parchment paper.
- Bake at 350 for 13-15 minutes, until just slightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Notes
Oats: I use regular old-fashioned rolled oats. However, quick oats could work as well if that's what you have on hand.
Flour: I prefer white whole wheat flour. It's still 100% whole wheat, but has a bit of a lighter texture. You can also use regular whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour or a combination of all-purpose and whole wheat flour.
Yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt works great here, and you can use non-fat or a 2% or 5% type. You could also swap in applesauce in place of the yogurt or use melted butter for some more richness.
Dried blueberries: I buy these at Trader Joe's or at Costco, but some grocery stores carry them as well. (They will be with other dried fruits, like raisins, and typically come in a bag.) You can also buy some online.
Size: I use this recipe to make 12 pretty large cookies. You'll scoop pretty big amounts for each one. I wet my fingers and press them down a little because these cookies don't spread out a lot while baking.
Storing: Store leftovers, once cooled completely, in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
