Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
- 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (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 rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. If using raisins or chopped nuts, fold them into the dough.
Scoop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten each drop slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft to the touch but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
