Healthy Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies! Chewy & creamy cookies filled with Greek yogurt, lemon, applesauce & fresh strawberries. A tasty breakfast or anytime snack under 100 calories! Gluten Free + Low Calorie
Oh, you guys are in for a treat today! I’m so excited to be sharing this recipe with you. Truthfully my excitement is tenfold because today I’m headed to L.A. for BlogFest. YEAH!!! If you’ve been a long time reader, then you know I’ve attempted to go to BlogFest for two years. Yes, TWO YEARS people!
The first year I had to cancel my trip because I was informed the day before BlogFest that my website would be shut down if I didn’t change all the images on my site because someone else trademarked the name of my site. Apparently you can own a website name, but never use it on images once someone trademarks it. Some things make ZERO sense to me. Those two days were the worst days of my entire life!
Then last year I didn’t make it to BlogFest because I was in a car accident two days before the trip, and traveling on crutches and with a concussion would not have been any fun. 🙁
This year I feared I would be able to go again because the organizers of BlogFest decided they were making the conference FREE (YEAH! On a student budget here!), but you had to apply and be selected. So I applied and patiently waited, but was worried after my two years of bad luck that I wouldn’t be able to go. When I was selected it was a big sigh of relief!
For those who don’t know, BlogFest is a two day blogging and social media conference with celebrity guest speakers. It’s part of IDEA World which is the biggest fitness convention. It’s four days packed with all things blogging, health and fitness, and catching up with blogging friend in real life. To say I’m excited, is an understatement. Crossing my fingers nothing stops me from getting there today!
But enough about me, let’s talk about Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies! They’re creamy, chewy, packed with protein and whole grains, and bursting with citrus and sweet strawberries. I don’t know about you, but I can never say no to a cookie for breakfast, or lunch, or dinner, or any time of day. Much less a healthy cookie that’s less than 100 calories. That means you can have two right?
The Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies are a healthy snack or breakfast with no refined sugar or oil. Keep a batch in the freezer for a yummy snack you can enjoy year round!

I recently tried these and the batter was really soupy! Was yours this way too?
Nope not at all!
I’ve made this twice now and they turned out great. I used light brown sugar, not packed, in place of the coconut sugar though. And I ground my own oat flour in my food processor.
That look amazing recipe .I like it and this recipe delicious yummy
Do you know of non dairy yogurt will work? allergic to dairy!
Hi Megan! Yes non dairy yogurt should work here.
Can you use frozen strawberries?
I’m sure you could. They would have to be thawed and dried a bit so they don’t overly wet the batter and make it runny.
Thank you so much!
Hello,
Do you happen to know if using stevia instead of coconut sugar will drastically change the texture? And any thoughts for high altitude?
Much appreciation
I’m guessing omitting the coconut sugar will slightly flatten the cookies. As for the high altitude, I have no experience baking in high altitudes. Maybe Google has some tips?
