Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cup Non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.25 cup Chopped pecans (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, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the non-fat Greek yogurt and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and stir until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the rolled oats, and if using, the chopped pecans, until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop 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 lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
