Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional)
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the egg to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully incorporated.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until well combined.
If using raisins and/or chopped walnuts, fold them into the dough until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers to shape them.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the cookies are set.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
