It’s okay to enjoy tr eats on a healthy diet for weight loss. Here’s a way to delight in cinnamon spiced cookies that are completely free from refined grains. Instead, they depend on oats and almond flour for lower-carb, gluten-free cookies.

These cookies use applesauce instead of butter, letting you keep calories and saturated fat down. Applesauce also adds sweetness, so you can add less sugar or honey. The result is a chewy, delicious cookie that’s satisfying.

  • For a more traditional cookie, try using whole-wheat flour instead of almond flour. It won’t be gluten-free, but it’ll be higher in whole grains.
  • If you prefer a calorie-free sweetener, try a natural one like stevia instead of the sugar, honey, or maple syrup.
  • For chocolatey cookies, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of cocoa powder (baking cocoa) when you whisk together the flour and other dry ingredients.
