It's true! Healthy and cookie can appear in the same sentence!

Satisfy your sweet tooth with this tasty and actually healthy cookie recipe from The Skinny Fork!

You an give in to your inner cookie monster without regret. It is completely possible! I know it seems rather oxymoronic to think of cookies as healthy but it's a fabulous thing to think of and know to be real. What it is really that makes cookies so unhealthy? Tons of sugar, oil, white flour, butter... all things that can actually be replaced!

The Skinny Fork recipe for Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies does just that: food substitution! For example, instead of butter or oil, you'll find this recipe calls for apple sauce!

Try this recipe and add a dash of PGX Daily Singles for an even healthier treat and that extra fibre kick!

So without further ado, click to view the Skinny Fork recipe for Healthy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies (it has some chocolate in it too!).
