These gluten free and vegan Date-Sweetened Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies are my all-time favorite snacking cookies! I love to bake a batch and then keep them in the refrigerator for easy desserts and snacks. Even though they are technically a “cookie, ” these cookies are packed with nutrients like iron, protein, manganese, and more!
Cinnamon, oatmeal, and cranberries were meant to be together, so make these cookies and enjoy the aroma, taste, and more!
If you try this recipe, let me know! I would love to see your comments and ratings on this recipe. In addition, you can tag photos of your dishes for me to see on Instagram using #gwynnieclemons.
Best wishes and shalom, friends!
