Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Oat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until evenly combined.
In a separate smaller bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. It may be slightly sticky, but it should hold together.
If using dark chocolate chips, fold them gently into the dough with a spatula.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Gently flatten each mound of dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your chewy low-fat alternative flour cookies! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
