Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour Substitute with almond flour for gluten-free option.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup raisins or nuts Optional for added texture.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  3. In another bowl, mix the applesauce and honey (or maple syrup) until smooth.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. If you’re adding raisins or nuts, fold them in at this stage.
  5. Use a cookie scoop to drop mounds of dough onto a lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let them cool before enjoying!

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the microwave for a few seconds before enjoying.
