Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 ripe banana
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup raisins or sugar-free chocolate chips
- 0.25 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe banana until smooth.
Add the unsweetened applesauce, pure vanilla extract, egg, and melted coconut oil to the mashed banana. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
In another bowl, stir together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the raisins or sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using.
Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
Gently flatten the tops of the cookies with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
