Tasty Oatmeal and Almond Butter Cookies kids love! When I created this gluten-free oatmeal and almond butter cookie recipe, I wanted to keep it as healthy as possible. To do this, I kept the sugar low and protein high and still kept the cookie texture and flavour delicious.

To keep the fats healthier, I combined unsweetened roasted almond butter with butter and coconut sugar to reduce blood sugar spikes.  If you are looking for a healthier dairy-free oatmeal cookie check out this Gluten-Free Oatmeal and Raisin Cookie Recipe.

I have not added raisins, but if you wish, add 1/2 cup sulphite-free raisins to make these oatmeal and almond butter cookies more nutrient-dense.
