Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/4 cups quick oats
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup honey
1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup well chopped raw walnuts or pecans

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the applesauce, butter, egg, vanilla, and honey. Whisk until blended. Pour the liquid mixture into the flour mixture and stir just until combined. The dough will be wet and sticky. Fold in the chocolate chips, raisins, and walnuts. Place in the refrigerator and let chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 3 days.
  • When ready to bake, place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Remove the dough from the refrigerator (if it is very stiff, you may need to let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes). With a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange on the baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space around each. With your fingers, gently flatten each cookie to be about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Bake until the cookies are golden and firm around the edges and set on top, about 9 to 10 minutes. Place the baking sheet on a wire rack and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to the rack to cool completely.

Provided by Olena Osipov

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tbsp flaxseed (ground)
9 tbsp water
2 large over ripen bananas
1/2 cup coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup oat flour
1 cup mixed nuts & seeds (chopped, if too large)
10 Medjool pitted chopped dates or 1 cup raisins
Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk flaxseed and water. Let sit for about 10 minutes while you are getting other ingredients ready.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, line large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, mash bananas. Add coconut oil, vanilla extract, cinnamon, baking soda and salt.
  • Add flaxseed mixture and whisk really well.
  • Add oats and oat flour; stir to combine. Add nuts and dried fruit; mix well. Dough will be very thick.
  • Using large ice cream scoop, place batter on previously prepared sheet and flatten with the back of a scoop into large size cookies. Cookies do not spread. I had about 6 cookies per sheet. Bake in batches for 20 minutes or until nuts start to brown a bit.
  • Remove from the oven and let cookies cool for a minute, then transfer onto a cooling rack to cool off completely. Enjoy for breakfast, snack or a healthy dessert!

Tips

- Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter they are. This means you can use less sugar in your cookies. - Mash the bananas thoroughly. This will help the cookies to have a smooth texture. - Use old-fashioned rolled oats. They have a chewier texture than quick oats and will give your cookies a hearty bite. - Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. - Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. - Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will give them time to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion

These reduced-sugar whole wheat oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a dessert. They are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen, and they are easy to make. So, what are you waiting for? Give them a try today!
