What makes these cookies healthier?

Firstly, they are made from oats and oat flour. Oats are a great source of whole grains and fiber. They are a very nutritious grain and a great source of carbohydrates. They have a great nutritional profile that can contribute to your overall health.

Avocado oil is a neutral baking oil that is high in oleic acid. Oleic acid is an unsaturated fat, which is considered a healthy fat. Unsaturated fats can play a number of beneficial roles that can contribute to your overall health.

Also, I like using these enjoy life chocolate chips. They are made with all natural ingredients and are free from common allergens and ingredients like from: gluten and wheat, peanuts, dairy, tree nuts, soy, casein, sulfites, egg, lupin, sesame, fish, mustard, crustaceans, and shellfish.
