Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar substitute (e.g., stevia or erythritol)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and sugar substitute until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in the raisins and, if using, the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and the tops appear slightly firm.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate them for extended freshness.
