Blueberries are little powerhouses of nutrients, bursting with antioxidants that support overall health and vitality. They add a juicy, tart-sweet burst of flavor to these cookies that perfectly complements the warmth of spices like cinnamon and ginger.
Oats and oat flour provide a wholesome base for these cookies, offering a hearty texture and a boost of fiber to keep you satisfied. Oats are known to support heart health and aid digestion, making them a wonderful choice for any time of day.
One of my favorite things about these Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies is how quick and easy they are to make. With simple, wholesome ingredients, you can whip up a batch in just 30 minutes. Perfect for a spontaneous baking session when you’re craving something sweet yet healthy.
These blueberry cookies are completely vegan, made without any dairy or eggs, yet they remain soft, chewy, and full of flavor. This makes them a fantastic option for vegans, but their delicious taste and texture mean that non-vegans will enjoy them just as much! I know this because Juan and my dad really loved them. Trust me, they are sure to become a staple in your kitchen, offering a wholesome and tasty treat for any occasion.
