🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cups Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (optional)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until smooth.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms. Avoid overmixing.

5. Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using).

6. Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

7. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon to help them spread evenly while baking.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The cookies will still be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.

9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

10. Enjoy your healthy and delicious chocolate chip oatmeal cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
