Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Raisins or dried cranberries
- 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using, fold in the raisins or dried cranberries and chopped walnuts.
Scoop tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are just set and lightly golden around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
