Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Optional
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2-3 tablespoons chocolate chips, chopped pecans or walnuts, raisins, or dried cranberries

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the oats to a blender or food processor and process for about 5-6 seconds to break them down. Do not overprocess. You want to have some floury bits with some whole oats, but you're not making flour, so don't overdo it.
  2. Add the blitzed oats and all remaining ingredients, including any optional ones, to a medium bowl. Mix well.
  3. Line your air frying basket with parchment paper. Then, divide the batter into 7 portions for small cookies or 3-4 portions for large cookies. Roll each portion into a ball and flatten and shape it in your hand. Then place it in the basket.
  4. Air fry the oatmeal cookies at 325°F/163°C for 4-6 minutes, until slightly golden. Then remove the basket from the fryer and set it aside to let cool for at least 10 minutes before handling.NOTE: The cookies will appear underdone at first, but they will set as they cool, so don't overcook them.
  5. After the 10 minutes, transfer to a warming rack to continue cooling or enjoy them warm.

Notes

  • Don’t overprocess the oats. You don’t want to make flour or this will alter the cookie's texture.
  • Use wet hands to roll and shape the batter. This helps prevent the cookie dough from sticking to your hands.
  • Don't overdo it on fill-ins. More than 2-3 tablespoons of any fill-in will make these difficult to shape and they'll fall apart more easily.
  • Do not overbake the cookies. They may appear underdone and soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies rest for 10 minutes before handling them. This brief cool-down helps them completely set.
  • The cookies will keep in a sealed container at room temperate for 2-3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Freeze them airtight for up to 3 months.
