Healthy Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

---

Health Fun Fact

Maple syrup is an amazing sweetener! It has a low glycemic index (meaning it won't spike your blood sugar and insulin levels like white sugar would), and it has 24 different types of antioxidants, which help your body fight free radicals from causing inflammation and various diseases!

These healthy, paleo, and refined sugar-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are SO GOOD - they’re moist and chewy but still a little crunchy on the outside, and 100% taste better when consumed wearing fuzzy slippers.

Last night I couldn’t decide if I wanted regular chocolate chip cookies with almon flour or oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, so I used about half oats and half almond flour and the consistency turned out so good!! Safe to say I’ll be making these again hehe
