Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the oats, cinnamon, sea salt, applesauce, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir everything together until well combined.
- Shape the Cookies: Spoon the mixture evenly into 12 portions and place them onto the prepared cookie sheet. Slightly flatten each cookie and shape them as desired, since they won’t spread much during baking.
- Bake: Place the cookies in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are just slightly golden.
- Cool and Store: Allow the cookies to cool on the pan. Once cooled, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Peanut Butter: Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oils for a healthier option.
- Sweetener: You can adjust the amount of honey or maple syrup depending on your sweetness preference.
- Texture Tip: These cookies are soft and chewy. If you prefer a crunchier texture, you can bake them for an additional 1-2 minutes.
