Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup apple sauce
- 2 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In another large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth. Use a hand whisk or a mixer on a low setting for this step.
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the cookies remain tender.
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Using a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the cookies are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow them to spread during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear dry.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your low fat chocolate oatmeal cookies as a delightful and healthy treat!
