I wanted to share one of my favorite treats I've been enjoying every week while losing over 70 pounds now!
Oatmeal cookies - however, I've made them with very few ingredients which are all wonderful at supporting a healthy weight.
Use any whole grain you have - rolled oats, steel-cut, or even oat groats!
Whole Grain Oats
Bananas
Spices
Add-ins like cocoa powder, pumpkin, raisins
Perfect for that evening treat some of us are looking for (I know I do!) alongside a cup of tea.
They also travel great and you can change up the ingredients so many different ways!
Did I mention we have a gingerbread version, apple, and chocolate mint that I adore?
