Ingredients
  

  • Dry Ingredients
  • 1 ½ cups old-fashioned oats
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour or almond flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • Wet Ingredients
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce or 1 cup finely diced apples
  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional Add-Ins
  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
  • ¼ cup raisins or dried cranberries
  • Yogurt or coconut butter glaze for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • Step 1 — Prep Your Oven & Pan
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dice apples (if using fresh) and measure out all ingredients.
  • Step 2 — Mix Dry Ingredients
  • In a large bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well so the spices are evenly mixed.
  • Step 3 — Combine Wet Ingredients
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, coconut oil, honey, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and glossy.
  • Step 4 — Form the Dough
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture and stir until a thick, sticky dough forms. Fold in any nuts, raisins, or other add-ins.
  • Step 5 — Shape & Bake
  • Scoop tablespoon-sized dough portions onto your prepared baking sheet. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are golden and tops are set.
  • Step 6 — Cool & Enjoy
  • Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store once cooled.

Notes

  • Use Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Gala apples for the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t overmix — it can make the cookies dense.
  • Add almond butter for a richer, chewier result.
  • Store with a small slice of apple or bread to keep them soft.
  • Freeze unbaked dough balls for instant cookies later.
