Beet Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are a healthy twist on a classic treat, made with nutrient-rich beets, hearty oats, and rich chocolate chips. These soft, chewy cookies are naturally colorful, subtly sweet, and perfect for a guilt-free dessert or energizing snack.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked and mashed or pureed beets
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or half whole wheat)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil, softened
  • ¾ cup brown sugar or coconut sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and beet puree to the wet mixture; mix well.
  5. Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. Fold in chocolate chips.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until edges are set and centers are slightly soft.
  9. Cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use almond flour and certified gluten-free oats.
  • Make it vegan by substituting flax eggs and using dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Optional mix-ins include chopped walnuts or shredded coconut.
  • Reduce sugar by using dark chocolate or less sweetener—beets provide natural sweetness.
  • Cook and peel beets before using; roasted or boiled beets work well.
