Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips or raisins
- 0.25 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the applesauce, melted coconut oil, and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and the egg, mixing until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the dark chocolate chips or raisins and walnuts (if using).
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone, but they will set as the cookies cool.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
