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 Golden Sweetner 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 or raisins that you could substitute for the butterscotch chips, if you want! We only added ⅓ cup, but you can add ½ cup or more to your liking.

See How Easy these Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies are to Bake!
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Mix flour with baking soda. Combine butter, the sugars and pudding mix in large bowl using a mixer or by hand. Beat until smooth and creamy. Beat in eggs. Gradually add flour mixture, stir in oats and butterscotch chips using mixer until incorporated all together. Batter will be stiff.
- Drop by ¼ cup scoop or by teaspoon/tablespoon onto ungreased or parchment lined cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Press cookies slightly.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes for smaller cookies, 12-14 for larger cookies.
Healthy Cookie 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 in your cookies, go for the old-fashioned oats!
- Oatmeal butterscotch cookies get a little softer with the addition of vanilla pudding, so we added Instant Vanilla Pudding just for that reason! Pudding adds moisture and body to the cookies!
- 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 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 use a ¼ cup cookie / ice cream scoop and slightly flatten the cookies down once scooped. You can also drop rounded teaspoonfuls or tablespoons on ungreased or a parchment lined baking sheet.
- These sugar free oatmeal cookie recipes will bake to the shape you make them with very little rise, so keep that in mind, because that will determine how long you bake them.
- 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.
- When baking the ¼ cup cookies, 12 minutes -15 minutes is a good rule of thumb for the baking time.
- 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!
