Festive cookies:
Whenever there is a holiday coming up, you can count on me to have the festive treats! And these chocolate m&m oatmeal cookies are the perfect addition for your spring festivities.
Unreal milk chocolate gems:
While I was at Mother’s Market, picking up some items I needed for the week, I spotted these Unreal milk chocolate gems at the checkout line that resembled M&M. And I loved the festive colors of them and thought these would make the best spring cookies! But don’t worry, if you can’t find then just substitute regular M&M’s, or Chocolate No No’s.
Ingredients you will need:
- Sunbutter no sugar added sunflower seed butter or any nut butter you dig
- Sprouted gluten free quick oats
- Almond flour
- Pasture raised eggs
- Maple syrup
- Baking soda
- Baking powder
- Cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Coconut oil
- 1 6 0z. bag of Unreal milk chocolate gems, Chocolate No No’s, chocolate chips, or regular M&M’s
- Optional add in: flaxseed meal for that extra fiber
How to prep the batter:
Mix the wet ingredients, add in the dry ingredients, and mix with a handheld mixer or a whisk. And then fold in 1/2 of the bag of the milk chocolate gems, and place the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. But they also can be baked right away (room temperature) too. Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop out batter. Place on a lined baking dish, and top with more chocolate gems. And bake 350° F for 8-10 minutes.
Once they are done baking:
And once they are done baking let them cool for 3-5 minutes on the baking sheet. And then carefully transfer to a wired cooling rack.
How to store:
I like to store mine in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days. But if you want them to last longer, they freeze well too.
