Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Old-fashioned oats
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Raisins or chocolate chips (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, melted unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well-combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients in the large bowl. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using raisins or chocolate chips, fold them into the dough at this stage.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are set and lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your oatmeal applesauce cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
