These Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are an easy and healthy dessert or breakfast! Only a handful of ingredients and in 30 minutes you’ve got yourself one tasty treat.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

This morning I woke up with a real hankering for a good old cookie bar (but honestly what else is new, when do I not wake up with a hankering for cookie related baked goods??). Therefore I knew some sort of cookie bar was in my very near future.

Enter my new Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars! Cookies. But in bar form. Why you ask? Because even with an abundance of mandatory time at home in the middle of this pandemic, I still can’t always bring myself to scoop out dough for individual cookies. Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, and Amazon Prime aren’t going to watch themself now will they? Save time for Netflix, watch cookies. That’s my motto.

Some of the many reasons you’ll love these Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars:

  • Super easy 1 – bowl recipe. Less dishes anyone? I think yes!
  • Naturally gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free.
  • Full of wholesome and healthy ingredients.
  • Only takes 30 minutes from start to finish.
  • Dense, chewy, and actually delicious.
  • Cookies but in bar form = less work = more time to binge watch Tiger King on Netflix.

Lets take a look at some of the ingredients:

Coconut Oil – My favorite substitute for other oils and sometimes even butter. Another common substitute for oil is applesauce! I have’t tried it out in this particular recipe but if you do, let me know in the comments.

Maple Syrup – If you don’t have maple syrup you can replace it with any liquid sweetener, honey, agave, etc.

Eggs – I haven’t tried replacing the eggs with flax or chia eggs so if you do let me know in the comments!

Almond Flour – Don’t have almond flour? Swap it out for all purpose flour or one to one gluten free replacement flour. I wouldn’t recommend swapping coconut flour as it is much more absorbent.

Old Fashion Rolled Oatmeal – I don’t recommend using steel cut or instant oatmeal, stick with the old fashioned rolled oatmeal.

Walnuts – The walnuts are totally optional! I know not everyone is a “nuts in desserts” fan. You can also switch out walnuts with whatever your favorite nut is: pecans, macadamia nuts, etc.
