Ingredients

  • 1 cup applesauce
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 cups oats
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
  • 1 tbsp sugar optional, add if not using chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the applesauce, almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Then, add the oats, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and stir to combine. Optional: stir in the chocolate chips, or add in a tablespoon of cane sugar.
  • Use a medium cookie scoop (or your hands) to scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place the ball directly onto the baking sheet. Repeat this process until all of the dough is done.
  • Use the palm of your hand to flatten the balls into cookies. Then, place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 12 minutes. Leave them on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy!

Notes

*Calories are per serving and are an estimation. 
*These cookies are not super sweet; if you want them to be more cookie-like then add the chocolate chips, if you want a low sugar breakfast option, omit chocolate chips and add a tablespoon of sugar instead.
