Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder (sodium-free)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (unsalted) - optional
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, old-fashioned oats, shredded coconut, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well-blended.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
