Oatmeal Cookies
These low fat oatmeal cookies are oil free, and can actually easily be made virtually fat free as well by leaving out the coconut. This is a special treat for you and for me.
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp nut/seed butter, (nut-free use sunflower seed butter or tahini)
- 1/2 cup applesauce
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup unrefined sugar
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract, optional
- 1 tsp flaxseed, ground, or chia or psyllium husk
- 3/4 cup whole grain flour, (can grind oats in blender or coffee grinder)
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375F.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the nut/seed butter, vinegar and applesauce until it’s smooth and creamy. Stir in the sugar, salt, baking soda and almond extract.
- Mix the flax, chia or psyllium with 3 Tbsp water separately, then add to the wet mixture.
- Stir in the flour and oats until they’re just mixed, don’t over mix.
- Fold in the mix-in of your choice gently.
- Spoon the cookies onto a lined (parchment or silicone mat) sheet, and put in the oven to bake for 10-15 min, or until the tops are golden brown.
