Cookies to be the best fat burner! Yes please, if they’re these cookies.

These tasty little Gluten-Free Collagen Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are packed with the clean protein, healthy fats, filling fiber, and antioxidants you need to look and feel your best. And they do it without the eggs, dairy, gluten, or added sugars in most cookie recipes!

Despite what those anti-aging cream commercials would have you believe, a glowing complexion actually starts from the inside out. Collagen is the main structural component of your skin, and it’s a big part of preventing wrinkles and keeping your skin tone even.

Collagen is also key to building strong bones and muscles, as well as maintaining healthy cartilage and joints. As you age and your natural collagen production slows, it’s important to supplement in your diet!

And what better way to boost your collagen than a batch of chewy oatmeal cookies? Just be sure you use a collagen product that’s odorless and flavorless. (Our All Systems Glow Collagen fits the bill!) Sneak it in along with rich dark chocolate chips and chewy oats… you can indulge yourself and feel good about it.

You can easily switch things up in this recipe by taking your pick of almond or cashew butter, or use sunflower seed butter if you’re nut-free. And no worries about the chocolate chips – dark chocolate has some amazing health benefits of its own.

Unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped walnuts or pecans also make great additions, both for texture and nutrition. Just stay away from dried fruit like raisins, since the drying process concentrates the fructose, which can stop fat-burning in its tracks.

Pro tip: If you find the dough difficult to work with, just pop it into the fridge for 15 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb some of the moisture.
