    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    I've decided that the reason that we have two hands is so that we can walk around with a cookie in each one. Okay, while that might be a bit of a stretch, you know what I mean. Why limit yourself to just one of these tasty treats when you can grab two as you're walking by the cookie plate?

    I've been making these cookies for years, and they're always a huge hit. I've taken them to parties, had them as a dessert for holiday gatherings, and sometimes just have a batch whipped up and waiting for the kids at the end of a long day as well.

    This simple cookie recipe is really great any time of the year, so just grab up the simple ingredients and plan on always having them on hand. You never know when an oatmeal cookie craving is going to strike - so you better be ready!

    Speaking of cookies, make sure to check out my Keto Cookies Cookbook, which is only $4.99 for 25 recipes. You'll have a ton more great cookie ideas that you can make and enjoy!

    Ingredients

    Butter  - I just use salted butter for baking since it is easiest to only have to stock one type of butter in my house. If you have unsalted butter add a pinch of salt to the coconut flour oatmeal cookies. For a dairy-free choice just use coconut oil instead of butter.

    Joy Filled Eats Sweetener - Simple and easy to make, this is my go-to sweetener. 

    Gluten-free oats - Make sure that you find oats that are certified to be gluten free if that is important for you. Not all oats are naturally gluten free so pay close attention to labels. 

    Coconut milk - This gives a nice subtle sweetness and the perfect hint of coconut to the oatmeal cookies. 

    Coconut flour - The texture of coconut flour pairs really well with oats. 

    Egg - Adding the egg provides the binding agent to get all the ingredients to form a dough. 

    Vanilla - I prefer real vanilla extract for baking purposes. 

    Baking soda - Just a pinch will do. 

    Cinnamon - A few shakes of cinnamon adds so much flavor!

    How To Make Coconut Flour Oatmeal Cookies

    You're about to find out why this is one of my favorite oatmeal cookie recipes!

    Step One: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

    Step Two: Mix the butter and sweetener in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients. It should be a bit crumbly looking but still stick together when forming into a cookie.

    If you want to add in any mix-ins, now is the time. Just add and stir.

    Step Three: Make 24 cookies using a medium cookie scoop and put the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheets. Press to flatten.

    Step Four: Bake for 12 minutes and remove the cookie sheets from the oven once the edges start to turn golden brown.

    Variations

    This recipe is designed to allow for a cup of mix-ins of your choice! Adding chocolate chips is probably the most common addition to this recipe but there are so many options.

    Chocolate - I like to turn these cookies into oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, so adding in some sugar free semisweet or dark chocolate chips is a must.

    Nuts - I also think that adding in chopped nuts like pecan, or walnuts are a great idea, too.

    Fruit - Dried fruit like raisins or dried cherries would also be a great choice. For a low carb option, choose sugar-free dried cranberries.

    Coconut - Shredded coconut flakes are another possible mix-in.

    Common Questions

    Which is better, coconut flour or almond flour?

    This all just depends on what you want to bake with. Both have their benefits and drawbacks. Coconut flour tends to be a tad bit of a drier flour, so I typically use this in recipes that I know there is plenty of moisture.

    Does coconut flour go bad?

    It does! It actually has a short shelflife than other types of flour. If you store it in the fridge, it isn't going to last longer than 3-6 months. You can help out the lifespan by putting it in the freezer, but that still won't last longer than 6-12 months.

    How do you store coconut flour oatmeal cookies?

    After you've let them cool and removed them from the baking sheet, you can then put them into an airtight container for storage.

    I like to keep them on the counter at room temperature but storing them in the fridge is fine as well.

    What is the easiest way to keep cookies from sticking to the baking sheet?

    Two words - parchment paper! Line the pan and you'll be good to go! I seriously use it for every baking recipe, and I hardly even have a crumb that sticks to the pan or baking sheet, ever!

    There is also a baking mat option that you could purchase online but I really have had great luck with my parchment paper.

    Notes

    Nutrition: the nutrition facts are for 1 cookie. Each serving has 4.3 NET carbs.
    To Store: keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. 
    To Freeze: flash freeze the cookies first, then put them into a container or freezer bag. Store for up to 3 months. 
    Notes on Sweeteners: 
    I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
    To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
     
    To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
     
    Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

      Hi Taryn,
      Can I use sucanat, in place of the sweetener options?
      If so, what amount should I use for this recipe?

      Thanks,
      Art W

        Hi Art, I'm sorry but I don't test my recipes with sucanat so I'm not sure if it would work. If you try it please come back and let us know how they turn out.
