We have a variety of sugar-free desserts on the blog. My husband really has to watch his sugar intake, so these cookies are excellent for his sweet tooth. Not overly sweet, but sweet enough and he really loves them!

Sugar Free Ingredients We Used

Our favorite sugar substitutions for the brown sugar in these cookies is Lakanto Brown Sugar and for the granulated sugar, Lakanto Classic Sugar. Seriously, the best alternative to healthy sugar!
For the sugar-free butterscotch chips, we used Lily’s Butterscotch Chips. They worked perfectly in the cookies to give them that yummy butterscotch flavor we were looking for.
There are definitely other sugar-free chocolate chip options that you could substitute for the butterscotch chips, if you want!

How to Make Sugar-Free Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oats, sugars, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Add the egg, melted butter and vanilla and mix until combined. Fold in the butterscotch chips. (If the batter is too thick, add the milk of choice, as needed.)
Using a cookie scoop or a large spoon, scoop out heaping tablespoons of dough and place the scoops of dough onto the lined sheet. Press each one down slightly.
Bake the cookies for around 10 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to go golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

How to Store Sugar-Free Cookies

Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 3 days. Refrigerator stored cookies will keep for up to 2 weeks.
To freeze, place cookies in an airtight container or ziploc bag for up to 6 months

Healthy Butterscotch Oatmeal Cookies Tips!

We love to use oats in cookies because they are heart healthy delicious! You can use old-fashioned rolled oats or quick oats or a combination. If you want more texture and chewiness in your sugar-free oatmeal cookies, go for the old-fashioned oats!
Salt is essential when baking with butterscotch in cookies or bars. Butterscotch chips are so sweet, so salt will balance the sweet butterscotch. You can even opt to add some sea salt on top if you’re one of those types!
Use the Spoon & Sweep method when measuring the almond flour! Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour and will make the cookies dry.
We used a 1/4 cup cookie / ice cream scoopand slightly flatten the cookies down once scooped. You can also drop rounded teaspoonfuls or tablespoons on ungreased or a parchment lined baking sheet.
The thicker and larger the cookies are, the more time you will bake, but per usual, do not overbake. Overbaking will dry them out. Once the edges start browning, remove them from the oven.
For the moistest sugar free oatmeal cookie recipe cookies, bake 12 minutes and pull them from the oven and let them continue to bake on the cookie sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a baking rack. For smaller cookies, bake 10-12 minutes.

These healthy butterscotch chip oatmeal cookies are amazing right out of the oven! OMG! Give them a try when you want something sweet that’s sugar-free! Perfect for breakfast or snacking!
