Yay! So glad you liked them 🙂
I love this recipe! I halved all the ingredients and made 6 cookies. I added walnuts and the cookies were absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to make these again. Thank you for this.
You’re welcome, Vanessa!
Hi ! I’m a vegan from France and I made your cookies yesterday. We all liked to eat them with a glass of plant milk or simply by themselves !
Thanks for sharing this recipe !
À bientôt,

I am like you, i can’t have any treats in the house. if i do, i go crazy with it! but this recipe looks so good. I do have a question tho. For ground oat, do you measure it before you grind them in flour form? And i think i am going to sub applesauce with more mash banana 🙂
Hi! Yes, measure the ground oats before you grind them. I think extra banana should be fine to replace the applesauce 🙂 enjoy!
Awesome looking oatmeal cookies! I haven’t had one of these in years and would love to try it!
