Vegan Apple Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
- 3.5 oz (100g) coconut oil soft or liquid (warm slightly in the microwave if solid)
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 4 oz (115g) unsweetened applesauce
- ¾ cup flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup granola (see Key Ingredients for substitutes)
- 1 apple (any type works) cut into small cubes, about ¼ inch (0.5cm)
Instructions:
- Prep the oven: Preheat to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut oil and both sugars, and mix well. Add the applesauce and stir again.
- Add the dry ingredients: Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt, and stir until fully incorporated. Fold in the oats, granola, and chopped apple, and mix until evenly combined.
- Shape and bake: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, form dough balls about 1.5 inches (4cm) in diameter and place on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten to about ½ inch (1cm) high. Bake for about 30 minutes. Let cool.
Notes:
- No granola? Use only oats instead, the cookies will just turn out a bit softer. Don't use only granola without any oats, the combination is what gives these cookies their texture.
- Best fresh out of the oven, but keep well in a sealed container for up to a week.
