#1,823: Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies (Flour and Sugar free)

So we just came off a week of no sugar in our house.  It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be with my crew.  What it did do though, was make my kids realize that there is sugar in a lot of foods that they like.  So now that we are technically done with our 1 week challenge, I still want to minimize the amount of sugar they are consuming, especially as I get ready to send them back to school (and school lunches) soon.  I'm trying to find different sides and snacks that they will enjoy but not have any (or very minimal) sugar in it.  I found this recipe and it looked quick and easy, so I decided to give it a try.  These are ok, but I was the only one who really enjoyed them at all.  The kids were not fans at all sadly.  I'll keep trying to find something they will eat though!  

2 eggs

1/4 cup olive oil (I used coconut oil) 

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 teaspoon vanilla liquid stevia (I omitted)

1 tablespoon powdered stevia (I used 3 packets) 

pinch salt

4 tablespoons cocoa powder, unsweetened (I used 2 tbsp because that's all I had left)

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips like the brand Lily's (I omitted)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In a large bowl whisk eggs, oil, vanilla extract and vanilla stevia together.  Whisk in powdered stevia and salt until absorbed and no clumps.

Add in cocoa powder and whisk until thoroughly combined.  Stir in rolled oats and chocolate chips until all the oats are coated with the chocolate mixture.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Using a small cookie scooper, scoop cookie batter onto lined baking sheet.  Bake 10-12 minutes until slightly hardened to touch.

Let cool 10-15 minutes before removing from pan.
