Lately, I’ve been putting dried blueberries (not freeze-dried) in just about everything! My favorite dried blueberries are the small dried wild blueberries. The smaller sizes are perfect for these healthy oat cookies. Feel free to use sweetened coconut, but I prefer unsweetened as shown in the recipe.
I make my cookies gluten-free but any all-purpose flour is fine, even whole wheat is an option. As always, any nut butter can be substituted for peanut butter!
We pack these healthy cookies on hikes, long bike rides, and when kayaking. The oats, peanut butter, and fruit provide good energy and are fiber-rich.
