- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup

- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips or raisins
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or raisins, and optionally, the chopped nuts.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to shape them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your healthier oatmeal cookies with a glass of milk or alongside your favorite tea!
