NEW: Low-Fat Chewy Oatmeal Cookies!
|
Hi Reader, When it comes to writing about food, using the word "healthy" is tricky, even controversial according to some. I don't think it needs to be, though. I mean, some folks just go around looking for stuff to get worked up about. π I think we all know we have different ideas of "healthy." A quick online search for "healthy oatmeal cookies" makes that abundantly clear. π But especially in the vegan niche, I see the word as a fairly useful adjective! It quickly lets someone know, "Hey, this is made with whole-food ingredients and is going to be different than the 'classic' version." Anyway, all of that to say, these cookies fall into my "healthy" category, for sure! π No refined flour or added oils and minimal added sweetener. And yes, they're good! Soft, chewy, and lightly sweet, with pops of deliciously tart dried fruit throughout. π₯° βApplesauce Oatmeal Cookiesβ
You might even have all 7 ingredients on hand to make a batch! If you do, I would love for you to leave a comment and star rating on the blog (it helps me in the eyes of Google and helps others find recipes they'll enjoy). π More "Healthy" Sweet Treats

There are many versions online now, which tends to happen after a recipe goes viral. Usually they're made with plenty of chopped dill pickles and a mayo-based dressing. It's kind of like macaroni salad but doesn't necessarily use elbow macaroni. And other than some white onion,...
Hi Reader, I have a new sweet treat to share with you today, plus a few recipes for Memorial Day Weekend and the unofficial start of summer. βοΈ First, Banana Mug Cake! It's fluffy, sweet, delicious, and works with a variety of different flours and sweeteners. Try it with whole wheat pastry flour or oat flour for a healthy-ish breakfast treat. Or use "regular" flour and sugar for a more straight-forward banana cake vibe if that's what you're craving. Basically, it's like banana cake and banana...
Hi Reader, I have a new dinner recipe for you today! The next time you're craving something comforting, nourishing, and really easy to throw together, give this a try: Beans and Greens with Gnocchi! Itβs a one-pan wonder made with pillowy gnocchi and that classic "beans and greens" magic we all love. Dried Italian herbs and Calabrian chili paste bring tons of flavorβand though it doesn't need cheese on top, anytime I have an opportunity to whip up a batch of my pourable vegan mozzarella, you...
