Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

My absolute favourite cookie growing up was oatmeal chocolate chips cookies! I have been wanting to reinvent them in a gluten-free and refined sugar free way for years... and finally after a couple tries, they are here!

These cookies are a great mid day snack but, I also like them for breakfast! I love a nice sweet breakfast, so this week, lets just say I have been eating a lot of cookies (oops).

Man these cookies were so easy to make that ANYONE can make them. All you do is mix all ingredients in one bowl n' call it a day!

Not only are these cookies vegan, but they are gluten free, dairy free, refined sugar free and sooooo yummy.

I used GF oats, but you can use original oats if you can tolerate gluten.

Also you can add some fun stuff in these cookies like;

- walnuts

- pecans

- banana
