Guilt-Free Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Healthy Eating and Healthy Living ~ two of my top {personal} priorities lately, but, this girl still loves to eat and to bake ~ what to do? I've been converting some of my usual recipes into healthier ones but also got the Hungry Girl to the Max Cookbook. The first recipe I tried was this Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Softie ~ it was delicious. Even my husband and kids loved them
.
📖 Recipe
Ingredients
- ¼ cup brown sugar {not packed}
- 3 packets of Truvia {you can also use 2 tablespoons of Splenda or 2 tablespoons of sugar}
- 2 tablespoons light whipped butter or light buttery spread at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons no-sugar-added applesauce
- 2 tablespoons fat-free liquid egg substitute
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup whole-wheat flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup old-fashioned oats
- 3 tablespoons mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk brown sugar, Truvia, butter, applesauce, egg substitute, and vanilla extract.
- Add flour, baking powder and salt and stir until smooth. Fold in oats and chocolate chips.
- Spoon batter onto the sheet in 6 evenly spaced mounds. Use the back of a spoon to spread and flatten into 3-inch circles.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a softie comes out clean, about 10 minutes.
Notes
As with any of my recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
If you want to share the goodness you can write the name of this little goodie on one side of a popsicle stick, the nutritional info on the other and give to a friend whose watching what they eat as well!
I bought my cookbook at Sam's Club but you can get it for a little less at Amazon.

I'm trying hard, too, Karianne ~ my problem is I LOVE to eat, but I'm keeping healthy snacks around the house and trying a lot of new recipes so that's helping.
Have a fabulous week and thanks SO MUCH for stopping by!

These cookies sound tasty, I think I'll have to try them this weekend.
I found you via Parlo & Logi's F-it Friday. Have a good weekend!
Thanks, Mel ~ it's nice to "meet" you!
These look tasty. I like that they use whole wheat flour, that's all I have on hand so I won't have to buy regular flour.
Thanks, Toodie! I think it will be great with whole wheat flour. I usually use whatever I have on hand, also.
Have a wonderful weekend!
