National Oatmeal Cookie Day is this week. Oatmeal raisin cookies are one person on our team’s favorite cookies. So we thought we would share some great recipes to celebrate the cookie! While oats are high in carbs, they are also high in fiber and iron and can be enjoyed as part of a blood sugar-friendly diet!
First, we have our teammate’s favorite — the classic oatmeal raisin cookie. They are beloved for a reason. This version includes unsweetened coconut, which adds extra texture and aids the chewiness of the cookie. If an oatmeal raisin cookie doesn’t have that classic soft chew, it’s not worth eating! A serving has 92 calories, 4.8 grams of carbs, 1.2 grams of fiber and 7.2 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
Butterscotch chips are phenomenal in cookies. They add sweetness and a pop of extra creaminess. Because of the teaspoon of molasses in these cookies, they taste like a breakfast or midmorning treat to us. Of course, you can have them any time you want. But they are perfect with a cup of coffee. A serving has 117 calories, seven grams of carbs, three grams of fiber and 10 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
For folks who are looking for a great muffin recipe, these oatmeal chocolate chip muffins will hit the spot. They are great for breakfast or in a packed lunch. As the oats sit for 10 minutes in milk as a step in the recipe, the muffins are soft and tasty. The recipe is very versatile and lets you pick your type of milk, vinegar and sweetener, so we suggest recalculating the nutrition based on what you use. A serving has roughly 60 calories, 10 grams of carbs, 2.5 grams of fiber and one gram of fat. Get the recipe.
These are soft, chewy cookies that combine the best aspects of peanut butter cookies and oatmeal cookies into one. The recipe calls for coconut sugar, so you can make them lower in carbs by choosing an alternative. Coconut sugar has a lower GI than cane sugar, but it’s still higher in carbs than something artificial. This is a cookie that, once you’ve made it one time, you’re sure to make it again. A serving has 191 calories, 12 grams of carbs, two grams of fiber and 13 grams of fat. Get the recipe.
We hope you enjoy all these wonderful cookies!
