The Best Healthy Cookies
These also toddler friendly cookies are my son´s favorite treat (and mine as well). They´re so delicious that you´ll want to make an extra batch to freeze up and have it always on hand (like I do).
Ingredients
- 100g of coconut oil
- 90g of date paste*
- 2 eggs
- 100g of oat flour or rolled oats (see notes below)
- 90g of whole wheat flour (or non gluten flour mix)
- 8g of baking powder
- 2g of salt
- 70g of chopped 70% chocolate
Instructions
- *You can make your own date paste by adding the same amount of pitted dates and water to a blender and mixing well until smooth.
- Combine coconut oil – it has to be in like smooth butter consistency, not solid or melted), date paste and eggs. Mix well
- Add the flour, oats and salt
- Add the chocolate and then combine the baking powder.
- If the mixture is too liquid, place it in the frigde for about 5 min so you can scoop it more easily.
- I like to make them with about 30g each – small ice cream scoop. Flatten them a bit and place it in your pre-heated oven for about 8min or until lighty golden.
- Place the cookies on a cooling rack – if you can resisit.
- Wait until they are completly cooled to freeze.
Notes
About the oats:
If you use oat flour you´ll get a more cake like cookie, softer and ideal for toddlers. But, if rolled oats you´ll get a chunckier texture and will problably need a bit of water to add to your dough.

When it comes to guilt-free indulgence, these oat and chocolate cookies are a nutritional powerhouse that proves healthy eating can be deliciously satisfying.
The combination of oats, dates, coconut oil, and 70% dark chocolate creates a synergistic blend of nutrients that support overall health.
Oats
Oats bring a robust dose of soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which has been scientifically proven to lower cholesterol levels and improve heart health. The complex carbohydrates in oats provide sustained energy release, helping to stabilize blood sugar and keep you feeling full and focused throughout the day.
Dates and 70% dark chocolate elevate these cookies from mere treat to a functional food with remarkable health benefits.
Dates
Dates are rich in antioxidants and minerals like potassium, which supports cardiovascular function and helps regulate blood pressure.
70% Chocolate
The high cocoa content in 70% dark chocolate delivers a powerful punch of flavonoids – plant compounds known for their anti-inflammatory properties and potential to improve cognitive function.
Coconut Oil
Coconut oil adds a metabolic boost, with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that can enhance fat burning and provide quick, clean energy. Together, these ingredients transform a simple cookie into a strategic wellness tool, proving that nutritious food can be both healing and incredibly enjoyable.
I don´t know about you, but I always crave for something sweet and when I developed this cookie recipe, I was absolutly hooked! These also toddler friendly cookies are my son’s favorite treat (and mine). They’re so delicious that you´ll want to make an extra batch to freeze up and have it always on hand (like I do).
You can also always substitute the chocolate for nuts, coconut shreds, chopped dates, goji berries, you name it! Besides, they´re vegan too (if you use vegan chocolate, of course).
