Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 cup uncooked oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1-2 cups chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325℉. In a large bowl, add the applesauce, coconut oil, egg, and honey, and mix to combine well.
- Add the oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Stir to combine well. Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
- Refrigerate the dough for 10 minutes (this give the oats a little time to absorb some of the liquid).
- Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to place a rounded tablespoon of dough on a parchment or baking mat lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 11-13 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are lightly browned and the center is set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes.

Notes
- Don't skip the chilling time, the whole grains in this recipe need some time to absorb the liquids before being baked.
- If you have cinnamon chips, they are really good in this recipe.
- I have tried this with gluten free flour and it worked well with a 1-to-1 gluten free baking blend. Bob’s Red Mill and King Arthur Baking Company both have good blends.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature once they have cooled or freeze for up to 3 months.
