Servings: 12 cookies

Ingredients

  • 240 grams (1 cup) applesauce
  • 120 grams (½ cup) natural peanut butter*
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed*
  • 160 grams (2 cups) rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp nutmeg optional
  • ⅛ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup mix-ins like pumpkin seeds, raisins, or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, mix applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and ground flaxseed until well combined.
  • Add rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and any mix-ins you'd like. Mix to form a dough.
  • Cover and rest for 20-30 minutes to soften the oats.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  • Divide dough into 12 portions (about 45 grams each). Roll into balls and place on baking sheet. Flatten the balls into a cookie shape (they will rise a little in the oven but won't really spread).
  • Bake for 18 minutes or until the bottom and edges are browned. Leave on the baking sheet for a minute, then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish cooling.
