Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

The first time i tried these coconut oatmeal cookies I was hooked. I made sure to get the recipe from my friends mom in which this version is modified from. This is one of my favorite gluten free cookie recipes…. in fact they are the only cookies I ever make.

​These gluten free oatmeal coconut chocolate chip cookies are made with oats, shredded coconut, healthy fats, cacao nibs, walnuts, rice malt syrup, coconut sugar, eggs and brown rice flour. This oatmeal coconut cookie recipe is  perfect for anyone avoiding wheat or gluten. These healthy cookies are loaded with healthy fats to slow down the absorption of sugar. I prefer these healthy coconut oatmeal cookies cold over warm, therefore I store them in the fridge.

Nutrition tip ~ Grass fed butter is high in vitamin K2 which is needed to make healthy bones. Vitamin K2 helps to determine how calcium is utilized in the body and where calcium is deposited.  We want calcium to be deposited in the bones yet kept out of the arteries.
