When I’m craving something sweet but still nourishing, these healthy oat cookies with dried fruit and nuts are my go to treat. Packed with crunchy peanuts, rich hazelnuts, and chewy cranberries, they’re everything I want in a wholesome snack. No flour, no butter, no refined sugar just pure texture, flavor, and natural goodness in every bite. These cookies come together fast and make the kitchen smell like a rustic bakery. They’re the perfect mix of hearty and indulgent.

Why These Oat Cookies Are My Pantry Staple
I make these cookies at least twice a month. They’re great for grab and go breakfast bites, post workout energy boosts, or mid afternoon treats that won’t weigh you down. What I love most is how versatile they are you can swap the nuts, change the dried fruit, or even shape them into bars instead of cookies. The results are always golden, fragrant, and full of texture.
- Nut rich: Peanuts and hazelnuts add crunch and natural protein
- Seed loaded: Pumpkin, sunflower, sesame all for extra fiber and nutrition
- No flour or butter: These cookies are naturally gluten free and dairy free
- Customizable: Easy to change based on what’s in your pantry
They pair beautifully with a cup of tea or a morning smoothie, and they keep well for days just like our flourless energy bites or oatmeal breakfast bars.
