Galletas de avena, or oatmeal cookies, are a popular treat commonly associated with Latin American cuisine but enjoyed globally. These cookies are typically made with rolled oats, flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and a blend of flavorings such as cinnamon or vanilla. Raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips are often added for extra texture and sweetness. The oats provide a source of fiber, supporting digestion and promoting a feeling of fullness. Depending on the recipe, they may also contain heart-healthy fats from nuts or seeds. However, traditional galletas de avena often include significant amounts of sugar and butter, which can raise calorie and saturated fat content. Homemade versions can be tailored with healthier substitutions like honey, whole-grain flour, or coconut oil. Whether enjoyed as a snack or dessert, these cookies offer a comforting balance of decadence and nutrition when consumed in moderation.
