Throughout quarantine, I have been determined to bake quick, easy and healthier cookies. Baking has never been my strong suit because I lose my patience and never follow the recipe word for word. However, I discovered the easiest three ingredient oatmeal cookie that excludes loads of sugar and hours of baking.

This recipe makes the ideal quarantine cookie because many people have the needed ingredients in their kitchen, which avoids visiting the hectic grocery stores. They are significantly healthier than your traditional chocolate chip cookie but will not fail to satisfy sweet cravings. If you are an impatient baker looking for a treat, this three-ingredient oatmeal cookie recipe is for you; there’s pretty much no way to mess this one up.
