Soft baked with the added surprise of chewy dried blueberries, these Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies are a delicious spin on the traditional oatmeal cookie. Vegan, gluten free, and sweetened with coconut sugar.
Oatmeal cookies have always been a personal favorite. So, I have made and eaten quite a few like this delicious chocolate version. These Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies are the latest version we're enjoying.
The idea for these cookies came from a jar of dried blueberries the kids' Great Granny gave us on a recent visit. They were lovely to snack on straight from the jar and I thought the texture would lend it self well to a cookie since they're a bit chewy and sweet like raisins. And since oatmeal cookies are a favorite, I decided it would be the perfect cookie base.
These cookies definitely did not disappoint. They were quickly gobbled up by my little ones (and me) and everyone really enjoyed the surprise of blueberry flavor in each bite.
