Healthy Collagen Cookie Bars

These healthy collagen cookie bars only require 10 basic ingredients, & if you have made any of my other recipes, you probably will have most of these ingredients on hand!

Healthy & decadent collagen cookie bars

These healthy cookie bars may change your life. I am NOT kidding. I know I say this about a lot of my recipes but I am telling you these are so flavourful, rich, decadent, chewy & fudgey. They will not disappoint. I added some pink & red M&M’s, with some white chocolate to give them a fun little Valentine’s Day twist!

How to keep this recipe dairy-free

The base of these cookie bars are 100% dairy-free, as we don’t use any butter or other milk products. The oil I chose to use for this recipe is 100% avocado oil (Costco has amazing prices for this product). You can also use coconut oil if you prefer as well!

However, the M&M’s I used do contain milk & if you want to keep this recipe 100% dairy-free I recommend subbing with dairy-free dark chocolate chips, which will also be delicious in this recipe! I like this brand.

I also used regular white chocolate as I can tolerate dairy in moderate amounts but just omit this or use a dairy-free white chocolate to keep these cookie bars free from dairy.

Better for you M&M’s

You can definitely use regular M&M’s in this recipe but I recently came across this brand & love what they are all about. They don’t use any artificial colours or flavourings which I really appreciate. They also have 22% less sugar than traditional M&M’s, but I do still consider them a treat. You can find them here & here.

What you will need:

• Almond flour (I get this from Costco, as it is super affordable there, but you can also get it here)
• Avocado oil (I like to get this at Costco or you can purchase it here)
• Coconut sugar
• Egg
• Baking soda
• Pink salt
• Vanilla extract
• M&M’s or Dark chocolate chips (these are my favourite dairy-free ones)
• White chocolate chips (get dairy-free to keep this recipe 100% dairy-free)
• Collagen peptides (optional but I find really helps with the chewy texture of the cookies)

Tools you will need:

• Mixing bowl
• Measuring cups & spoons
• Spatula or mixing spoon
• Baking tray
• Parchment paper
• Oven

Storing the cookie bars

You can store these in an air-tight container or baggie! They didn’t last very long in my household but they should last for a week on the counter or you can try freezing them & defrost as needed!

I hope you love this recipe! I would love if you could rate/review it if you decide to make them! It helps others know what recipes to try when they come to my blog!
