Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 Egg white
- 0.5 cups Mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Cooking spray or parchment paper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly coat it with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, plain Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg white. Mix until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the mini semi-sweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Using slightly dampened fingers, flatten each mound of dough slightly to help them spread evenly while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your reduced fat oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!
