Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose or oat flour (120g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp light butter (28g)
  • 1/2 cup granular sweetener (92g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar sweetener (48g)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (60g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 cups oats (160g) old fashioned or quick oats work
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (120g)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You can either use two pans at once or do two batches.
  • In a medium sized bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients until they are mixed well. Then add the oats and stir again.
  • In a separate larger bowl, combine the butter, sugar, and brown sugar with a hand mixer or whisk. Add the applesauce, egg and vanilla and mix again.
  • Slowly begin adding the oat and flour mixture to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir with a spoon until you can no longer see the flour (you don't want to over-mix these). Then, stir in the chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the cookie dough onto the baking sheets ( a little over a tablespoon each). Lightly dampen palms with water (or nonstick cooking spray) and flatten/shape the cookies.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges start to turn golden brown/ Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Let cool completely, then store cookies in an airtight container. They will stay fresh at room temperature for 3-4 days and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
