Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Cookies

So I recently discovered an allergy to dairy in our little family! This means diving even deeper into our journey with clean eating recipes, substituting good for the not so good and finding family favorites my picky little one will actually eat!

I have been a HUGE skeptic of dairy for a long time! I removed dairy (well about 75%) from my diet a few months back after discovering it was the cause of my acne!! So we have already made a few of the major switches but I still LOVED cheese....

So to start our transition, we decided to make some completely clean-eating DAIRY FREE cookies this afternoon!! Hope you love them as much as me....this pregnant momma ate 4 😂😂

Cinnamon Roll Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

1 Cup Quick Oats

3/4 Cup Quick Oats made into Oat Flour by blending really good (I used this as a flour substitute)

• 1.5 Tsp Baking Powder
• 1 Tsp Cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp Himalayan Salt
• 1 Tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 Ripe Banana
• 3 Tbsp Coconut Oil, melted and cooled to room temp.
• 1/3 cup Maple Syrup
• 3 Tbsp Egg Whites (or one large egg)

2 Tbsp Vegan Cream Cheese (yes, it actually tastes like cream cheese and has the same texture!!)

2 Tsp Almond Milk

1 Tsp Stevia 

1/4 tsp Vanilla

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix together oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl, mash banana then add vanilla, egg, maple syrup, and oil.  Once blended, add to the dry mixture and combine together.  Place dough in refrigerator for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray cookie sheet. Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough into your hand and slightly roll into ball, don't handle too much or your hands will warm your dough and it will melt.  Place ball into cookie sheet and press down slightly flat with a fork.

Take 14 cookies. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Cool 15 minutes on a cooling rack.

3. While cooling, Mix together last 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Whip until smooth.  Once cookies are cooled, drizzle the cream cheese into the cookies!
