Healthy Savory Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients

To make these gluten-free savory cookies you’ll need:

Oats. Both quick and rolled oats will work well because you will blend them together with the other ingredients. If you have gluten intolerance, then make sure the oats you use are labeled gluten-free. Basically, oats are a gluten-free product, but sometimes they can be contaminated if produced in a facility that processes gluten-containing grains.

Egg. One big or middle-sized egg, whatever you have available at home. Its function is to add structure, leavening, color, and flavor to our healthy flourless oatmeal cookies.

Feta Cheese. Feta cheese or Greek white cheese has a tangy flavor and will add saltiness and creaminess to our savory cookies.

Butter. Butter will make these oatmeal cookies soft and tender. If you wish you could also use olive oil or coconut oil instead, just keep in mind that they will add their own signature flavors to the cookies.

A Pinch of Baking Soda. The baking soda will help leaven the dough and as a result, your healthy savory oatmeal cookies will be fluffy as well as soft on the inside.

How to Make Savory Oatmeal Cookies without Flour

And now that you have all the needed ingredients, let the baking begin! Here’s what you need to do in order to make yourself some tasty savory cookies:

• Firstly, add all the ingredients to a bowl. Then, blend with an immersion blender.
• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
• Take out a baking sheet and then line it with parchment paper. After that, scoop some of the dough with a spoon and start shaping the cookies with your hands. If the dough is too sticky, then oiling or wetting your hands will certainly help.
• Cookies will become a bit bigger due to the baking soda. So, have this in mind when you spread them on the baking sheet. Just place them 2-3 inches apart, so that they don’t stick to each other while baking.
• Put them in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden. 
• Once ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool off for a few minutes. They will become a bit firmer and crunchier once cooled down. Enjoy!

Meal Prep and How to Store

If you want to meal prep or if you have baked more cookies than you could eat in a sitting, then you can store the cookies in the fridge for 4-5 days. You can enjoy them cold, but whenever possible, I like to reheat them in the oven for 2-3 minutes to crisp them up.

Also, you can probably even freeze them!

Optional Add-Ins 

If you want a particular or more intense flavor for your healthy savory oatmeal cookies, then I’ve got some suggestions. Just add one or more of these to the cookie dough before you bake them:

• a tsp of dried herbs of your choice, such as mint, oregano, or basil.
• a tbsp of thinly chopped dried olives (this will add more saltiness)
• some thinly chopped dried tomatoes
• some green or red pesto

How To Serve

Serve the savory oatmeal cookies for a quick snack, or for a more filling meal – if you wish they can be a great combo with your favorite dip or fresh salad.
