Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup coconut sugar or similar granulated sweetener; see Notes
- 3 Tablespoons smooth almond butter or other nut/seed butter
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ cup raisins or other small/chopped dried fruit, like cranberries or cherries
- 1 palmful chopped nuts, optional such as walnuts, pecans, pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C), and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a mixing bowl combine the applesauce, coconut sugar, almond butter, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Add the oats and stir very well.
- Now it's time to get your hands dirty. Use one hand to squeeze, knead, and mix it all together even more. This helps soften the oats and breaks them up a bit, which helps with binding. Note: If the mixture is too moist and doesn't stick together when squeezed, add more oats, about 2 Tbsp, and mix again.
- Measure 2 tablespoon of dough per cookie, and use your hands to form them into shape—about 2 inches wide and ⅜-inch thick. Place on the baking sheet an inch or so apart (they don't spread). If including nuts, press a few pieces into the top of each cookie.
- Bake for 13–15 minutes or until the moisture has evaporated and the cookies are set. Allow to cool on the baking sheet before serving or storing.
Notes
- Sugar: Light brown sugar, date sugar, or regular sugar are fine, too. Or use a combination.
- Store: Once the cookies are completely cool, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. For slightly longer shelf life, store in the fridge for up to 1 week. Or freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge or pop one in the microwave for about 10 seconds for a quick treat!
