Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Dried apples, chopped
- 0.5 cup Walnuts, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, honey, and olive oil. Mix well until smooth.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the rolled oats, chopped dried apples, and chopped walnuts until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of 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 are set and the cookies are lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
