Strawberry Oatmeal Cookies are one of my favorite cookies to make because they’re so simple to put together. With just a few ingredients, you will have these cookies ready in just 30 minutes. Made with no flour, no refined sugar, and no egg.
My kids always ask me to make these oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips and strawberries, especially when they see fresh strawberries in the fridge. These strawberry oatmeal cookies are perfect for everyone, including the kids, and great for meal prepping, so you aren’t craving sweets. They keep you on track, and they are delicious and straightforward.
Recipe Overview
Ingredients needed
Below is a list of the ingredients I used to make these cookies. Full measurements are listed in the recipe card below.
- Rolled oats: If you are gluten sensitive, use a gluten-free option.
- Peanut butter, or any nut butter: Go for creamy peanut butter or almond butter, which is also a delicious alternative.
- Vanilla extract
- Bananas: Use ripe bananas so they are sweet enough, since you won’t be using any sugar for this recipe.
- Chopped fresh strawberries: Do use fresh and not frozen.
- Ground flaxseed: I used this in place of an egg.
- Dark chocolate chips: for a lower-sugar option, use sugar-free; for a vegan option, use dairy-free.
- Sea salt flakes to garnish, optional
How to make strawberry oatmeal cookies
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
Next, in a large bowl, mash the bananas. Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed. Mix until everything is incorporated.
Add the rolled oats and give them a good mix to combine.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped strawberries, and mix them together again.
Using a spoon or scooper, place 12 cookie dough balls on the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle some sea salt if using.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool completely before serving. Enjoy.
Variations & Notes
- Instead of strawberries, you can add any other fruit, like blueberries or chopped apples.
- To make this vegan, swap the dark chocolate chips for a dairy-free option.
- Consider adding chopped pecans or walnuts. Sometimes I like to add in some shredded coconut. I use about 1/4 cup.
- Let the cookies cool before removing them from the pan. This will allow the cookies to set fully.
Common Questions
Yes. Quick oats will work, but the texture will change. If the batter feels a bit loose, you can add an additional 1/4 cup of quick oats.
The cookies are ok to leave covered on the counter overnight and then placed in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
These cookies don’t freeze well because once thawed, they may get too moist and loosen from the strawberries. You can still freeze them and thaw them in the fridge when ready to serve again. An excellent suggestion would be to serve the thawed cookies with some yogurt.
