Another day, another sweet treat! That is what my week has been looking like and I ain’t complaining! Especially not over these Oatmeal Cookies!
How has your week been?? I hope it’s a good and healthy one!!
I’m pretty happy to be sharing these yummy oatmeal cookies with you today, major sweet cravings happening over here! Oats, dried fruit, fresh fruit and chocolate, of course chocolate, never ever leave out the chocolate, please.
Right now I’m devouring a couple of these beauties whilst listening to New York New York by Frank Sinatra and I’m feeling little fancy and I’m moments away from dancing like I’m in the Rockettes! Wow, picture that! Don’t mind my fabulous grammar there either, I love long winded sentences.
Anyway’s, back at the ranch! These gluten free oatmeal cookies are the bomb dot com and I hope you make a batch right away because they’re so yummy, you can eat them for breakfast, seriously… do it. They have fresh diced strawberries and sultanas in them, it’s practically granola! Enjoy them with a lovely hot cup of tea or a hot chocolate. I’m also enjoying mine with a warm cup of Holy Basil tea, delicious! Have you tried Holy Basil tea? Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful! Although my tea does also have rose and a few other sweet flower notes in it.
These oatmeal cookies are not vegan, sorry, not sorry. You can’t have an oatmeal cookie without the honey right? Look, I suppose you could but I love to add my raw local honey, it makes the perfect binding agent and gives these gorgeous cookies an epic flavour bomb and you will fall in love… promise!
Did you guys catch my post from yesterday? I had to chuck this recipe in here too because I’m still getting over it’s amaze-balls-ness. I’m talking about my new Chickpea Sliders w/ French Fries, I will promote it here and everywhere *no shame*. One word, epic.
If you love these oatmeal cookies, I urge you to try my Pistachio White Chocolate Chunk Oat Cookies! I’m the oat cookie monster! 😉

Yay! I have some strawberries in my fridge on the verge of their use by date that would be perfect in theses. Sometimes I need a healthy cookie that isn’t 85% chocolate chips 😀
Hi Rosie! Oh yay! These are the perfect way to use up those strawberries, mine were on their way out too so I just had to make something sweet and tasty with them! I agree with the chocolate, it’s so hard not to though right?! Always need a little in there but we can get away with it in these beauties yeah?! 😉 Enjoy! xx
