Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Wet Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (optional) Use for a sweeter finish.
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional Additions
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips Optional for added sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine almond flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and salt, mixing until evenly distributed.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together applesauce, honey or maple syrup (if using), and vanilla extract until the mixture is glossy.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until well combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but scoopable.
  5. If the dough is too wet, add a tablespoon of oats at a time to achieve a dough that holds its shape.
  6. Fold in dark chocolate chips if using.
  7. Drop spoonfuls of dough about 1 to 1.5 tablespoons each onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
Baking
  1. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden and centers are set.
  2. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months for quick breakfasts. Refrigerate shaped dough balls for up to 24 hours before baking.
