Apple Oatmeal Cookies
Description
This cookie recipe begins by blending ground flaxseed with warm water to create an egg replacer and binder. Oat flour made from blended rolled oats is combined with baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt for the dry base. Wet ingredients include creamy almond butter, melted coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla extract, brown sugar, and the flax mixture.
Whole rolled oats, finely chopped apples, chopped walnuts, and raisins are stirred into the batter, which is thick and sticky. The mixture is shaped into rounded spoonfuls pressed slightly flat on a baking sheet and baked at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes until the cookie bottoms are browned.
The resulting cookies have a balance of sweet apple pieces, chewy oats, and crunchy walnuts with warm cinnamon flavor. Cooling on the baking sheet before transferring helps them set without falling apart.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed plus 4 tablespoons warm water
- 1½ cups oat flour blended from 2 cups whole rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ½ cup almond butter very creamy
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup brown sugar Truvia Brown Sugar Blend or regular
- 1 cup rolled oats whole
- ¾ cup apple finely chopped
- ½ cup walnuts chopped
- ¼ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed and water. Stir and set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, stir together the oat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter, coconut oil, applesauce, vanilla, and brown sugar. Add the thickened flaxseed mixture and stir well.
- Stir the whole rolled oats, apples, walnuts, and raisins into the bowl of dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir well to combine. The batter will be thick and sticky.
- Drop rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheet and press down slightly. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the bottoms are nicely browned. (Note: do not under-bake or your cookies will be more likely to fall apart). Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before cooling completely on a wire rack.
