Low Histamine Apple and Oat Cookies Recipe
These cookies are irresistible and make low histamine eating much more fun. If you know you tolerate other types of fruit you can swap the apple out and try different flavours.
Ginger is a low histamine spice, however, this can be replaced with cinnamon or a mix of spices if you know you tolerate them. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and can help with hisatmine metabolism.
Make these cookies in advance to take with you for a daily snack. They freeze well and last for up to 5 days in a cool place.

Easy low histamine cookies that are healthy enough to eat for breakfast! They make great snacks too.
This recipe works well as an egg free vegan recipe by replacing the egg with a chia egg. You can leave out the nuts for a nut free version or replace with pumpkin seeds (pepitas).

In a separate bowl, combine the ground flax, egg, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, and diced apple.

Notes
Celiac
Oats are wheat-free but for a fully gluten-free version swap with quinoa or millet flakes.
No egg or vegan
Use a chia egg! Mix 1 Tbsp chia seeds with 3 Tbsp water. Stir and let sit for 5-10 minutes to form a gel before using. You can also use ground flax seeds to make an egg replacer, however, I find Chia eggs work a little better.
Nut free
You can leave out the nuts for a nut-free version or replace them with pumpkin seeds (pepitas).
Apple size
For this recipe, one apple is equal to approximately one cup of finely diced apple.
Leftovers
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for longer.
Serving size
One serving is equal to one cookie.
