Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole rolled oats
- 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg white
- 0.5 cups Raisins or chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, mix together the whole rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, whisk the unsweetened applesauce and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and egg white to the applesauce mixture, and stir until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just incorporated.
Fold in the raisins or chocolate chips, and the chopped nuts if using.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon to encourage an even shape as they bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
