If you count weight watcher points plus, we are looking at just 2 points for each cookie. Not bad I would say.
To Make GF Heart-Healthy Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies Grab These Ingredients:
- Cocoa powder
- Ripe bananas
- Natural peanut butter, I used creamy ~ sub another nut butter if needed
- Pure Maple Syrup ~ Agave is an option as well
- Vanilla extract
- Water
- Gluten-free flour or a GF flour blend ~ homemade Gluten-free flour blends.
- Gluten-free old-fashioned oats.
- Baking powder ~ corn-free if needed
