Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 120 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 120 milliliters Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 Large egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 80 grams Chopped dried apples
- 50 grams Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your 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, ground cinnamon, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat with a fork or whisk until well blended.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until almost combined.
Fold in the chopped dried apples and chopped walnuts (if using) until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Press each cookie lightly with the back of a spoon to slightly flatten them.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sugar-free chewy apple cookies as a delightful, health-conscious snack.
