Ingredients
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries optional
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts such as walnuts or almonds, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until well blended.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  6. Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts if using.
  7. Shape the Cookies: Drop tablespoonfuls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
  8. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon, as they do not spread much during baking.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  10. Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
