About:

These cookies are easy and quick to make.

I used whole wheat and oats for some fiber benefits and cinnamon for flavour, chocolate chips and nuts for crunchiness.

Health Benefits:

Lab studies have found that honey and cinnamon include its ability to promote a stronger immune system, digestive system, increase the health of the heart, bones, skin, teeth, and hair, as well as stimulate weight loss.

Oats reduce LDL cholesterol while helping to maintain levels of HDL and it is high in fiber.

Making the switch to whole wheat flour will help you reap grains nutritional benefits without sacrificing some foods you love.
