Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the unsweetened applesauce and brown sugar until well combined.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the applesauce mixture and beat until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined.
Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Drop tablespoon-sized spoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
