Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large egg whites
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until slightly foamy.
Add the applesauce, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the egg whites and whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed in the cookie dough.
Using a tablespoon, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each cookie.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
