Healthy Cranberry, Coconut & Pumpkin seed Oatmeal Cookies

I feel like this recipe is a PERFECT excuse to have cookies for breakfast. It’s basically porridge in a cookie. I made this recipe over a year ago when I was doing a month of no processed sugars and wanted to improve on it and well...honestly I just wanted cookies. They may not be the prettiest cookies you’ve ever seen but for what they lack in looks, they make up for in flavour, although my mum saw these in the kitchen and actually asked me if they had cheese in them, nope, definitely not. I’ve been trying to be a little healthier and add more protein into my diet due to my lack of meat consumption recently, I wouldn't really call these protein cookies but they have the ingredients with every intention of giving you a bit of a kick in that department, does that make you feel better about eating them? Also, did I mention there's no processed sugar or fat in these YOU'RE WELCOME!
Ingredients
27g/ ⅓ cup of rolled/porridge oats
115ml/ ⅓ + 2 tbsp cup of water

  1. I’m so so lucky that I’m getting to work with Dr Aboulson! I started my first session crying because I felt so hopeless and i felt like I could never get rid of jealousy and anxiety, but two sessions later and I’ve been able to integrate techniques that Dr Aboulson taught me and I felt like I was able to live a day free from anxiety for the first time ever! I’m so thankful that I found therapy for emotional abuse and I’m beyond excited to keep working with her and see what other huge improvements we can make in my life.
