Oatmeal cookies are my go-to midday snacks. I haven’t tried coconut flour before, but one thing I do know is – I love the taste of coconut. As temps drop here in Canada, we will be spending way more time inside ( which means more baking). Definitely giving this a try!

That recipe looks delish and quite easy to follow… I should make one especially that it’s now school break here for the kids.
