Oatmeal Bites

Being on a low carb diet means you have to give up a lot of grains and starchy foods. One thing I missed having was oatmeal, it is such a comforting food. One day while I was working at my day job, someone stopped by and dropped off some cookies and they were oatmeal cookies, they were called Alyssa’s Oatmeal Bites, as soon as I had them, i automatically fell in love, the ingredients on the package were so simplistic and clean. I had them to make my own version.

I have made these bites countless times to ensure the best texture and flavor. I published it on my YouTube Channel. I figured I might as well post it on here as well.

While making this recipe, a couple of things I have noticed is using parchment paper of course is the easiest way to keep mess to a minimum when baking these. As they are baking they wont swell up that much so you don’t have to worry about spacing but you space them out about an inch apart. This is definitely a perfect little sweet treat for in between meals to keep your sugar craving to a minimum.
