What makes these cookies healthier?

These healthy monster cookies are made with wholesome ingredients.

First up, oat flour! I love baking with oat flour as it gives baked goods a soft and fluffy texture. It’s also a much healthier option in baking. It’s made with only one ingredient: ground oats! And oats are a great source of whole grains and fiber. I love buying this oat flour on Amazon!

Next, natural peanut butter! This recipe calls for 1/2 cup. Natural creamy peanut butter has no added preservatives or added ingredients. It has one ingredient: peanuts!

Lastly, coconut sugar. Coconut sugar is an all natural plant based sweetener. While coconut sugar is still an added sugar, you can feel better about adding it to your baked goods! I love buying this large bag of coconut sugar from Amazon!

How to store these cookies?

Once the cookies have fully cooled, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for a week or at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Also, you can store them in the freezer. I love storing my leftover monster cookies in the freezer, that way I also have homemade baked goodies on hand! Simply defrost them at room temperature or in the microwave.
