Incredibly soft — we dare say they are the best oatmeal cookies. Packed with grounded oats and M&M’s and so easy to make!
Not that long ago I made the best oatmeal cookies. They were oatmeal cookies but had the texture of those super soft chocolate chip cookies everyone loves.
I know they were a winner because even my picky husband loved them and he hates oatmeal cookies. The problem is I was stupid and wasn’t writing the recipe down as I went. I am SO mad at myself!
These guys are pretty close but I still might make a future tweak to the recipe.
This recipe uses Swerve — a sugar replacement that has low calories, low carbs (3-4 per serving), and measures just like sugar. It is made from fruits and starchy root vegetables and with no added extras — so it’s very natural.
Cookies already have a bad rap so you might as well use sugar replacements like Swerve to lower some of those bad counts down. Can’t hurt, right?

March 21, 2019 at 3:09 pmThanks! These are very tasty. I’m still mad at myself that I didn’t write down the first attempt at these cookies, though. I’ll have to keep trying! They were a little healthier because they were part almond flour.
