Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup peeled and diced apple
- 0.5 cup rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Mix well until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
In another bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid over-mixing to ensure the cookies remain light and tender.
Gently fold in the diced apple pieces and rolled oats into the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, place mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each cookie for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are light golden brown and the cookies have set.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your freshly baked Low Fat Apple Cinnamon Cookies, which are perfect for a healthy snack or dessert.
