Introduction
These cookies balance chewy oats, sweet dried fruit, and crunchy nuts without refined sugar or artificial additives. Perfect as a guilt-free snack, breakfast on-the-go, or lunchbox treat. Egg-free, naturally sweetened, freezer-friendly, and loved by all ages!
Why This Recipe Works
Oats: Provide structure and chewiness.
Natural Sweeteners: Honey or maple syrup add moisture and caramelization.
Egg-free binder: Mashed banana or applesauce keeps cookies tender.
