You be the judge!
I personally LOVED these Oatmeal chocolate chunk cookies even if they weren't loaded with white sugar and butter, I still found them very yummy, especially fresh out of the oven. I found the original recipe on: Recipe Girl and of course tweaked it to my liking ...
Oatmeal Chocolate Chunk Cookies
1 egg + 1 egg white, lightly beaten
3 Tbsp maple syrup (or agave nectar)
1 Tbsp honey (sub this for agave nectar or maple syrup to be strictly vegan)
2 Tbsp canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup gluten-free flour
1 Tbsp ground flax seed
⅛ tsp baking soda
⅛ tsp baking powder
Pinch of sea salt
¼ tsp (heaping) ground cinnamon
¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup or more of dark chocolate chips (or raisins or craisins to be vegan or healthier)
TIP: Be sure to add xanthan gum to your gluten-free flour mix, keeps it from falling apart!
