Healthy Monster Cookies {No flour, Egg-free}

This Healthy Monster Cookie recipe takes just 7 ingredients to make, with no added flour, sugar, or oils! 

If you give a mouse a cookie, you best have at least 2 more on hand, because he’s gunna want seconds.

Especially if said cookies involve a bomb-diggity dog monster cookie recipe. Come on, follow me.

After y’all went cah-ray-zee over these cowboy cookies, and I turned it over to the white chocolate macadamia world, it was only a natural progression to translate it into a monster cookie recipe. You feel me right? First comes love, then comes cowboys, then comes monster cookies in a baby carriage. Common knowledge.

You wanna know something funny? I didn’t even know what a monster cookie was before I explored making my own version of one. What makes them so monster-worthy anyway? Turns out chocolate in two forms and peanut butter turns a cookie into a Thriller character. Learn something new…

But really, chocolate, M&M’s and peanut butter can do no wrong. They make up for the lack of butter, oil, flour, or sugars you won’t find any which way in these cookies. I save that ish for chocolate and chunky pb.

Money Saving Tips for this Monster Cookie Recipe:

• Buy a small bag of M&Ms. You know what will happen if you buy the big honkin’ bag of them. Unless you’re baking oodles of these cookies, buying a single serve pack of M&Ms will be enough for this recipe, and will save some $$$.
• Use store brand. Most supermarkets have their own brand of chocolate chips and natural peanut butter now, and are most often cheaper than name brands with no taste difference.
• Buy oats in bulk. These are one of the items I like to buy a big canister of since I always use them later on, especially in these oat bites, or a batch of savory overnight oats. Buying the bigger container ends up giving you more for your money.

Notes

• Adding the M&M’s to the top  instead of directly into the batter helps to keep their color and texture.
• Use certified gluten-free oats to make these gluten-free friendly.  M&M’s may contain wheat, and should be avoided for those with severe gluten allergies.
