Cookies are treats that can be enjoyed, but remember: 1 serving is 1 cookie!
Ingredients:
⅓ cup unsweetened applesauce
¼ cup almond butter
½ cup maple syrup
1 Tbsp ground flaxseeds
2 tsp pure, organic vanilla extract
1 ¾ cups oat flour (can use any type of
gluten-free flour you desire)
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup rolled oats
½ cup finely chopped walnuts
⅓ cup raspberry, strawberry, or apricot
preserves (be sure there is no sugar added!)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or lightly spray with oil).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together applesauce, almond butter, maple syrup, flaxseeds, and vanilla.
- Add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. Fold in oats and walnuts.
- Roll 2 Tbsp of batter into a ball and place on baking sheet until you have 18 prepared dough balls. Moisten your thumb and make a deep indent in the center of each cookie. Place ½ tsp of jam in each indentation.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until bottoms of cookies are golden-brown.
- Remove cookies from oven and allow to cool on hot baking sheet for an additional 5 minutes, then remove to a cooling rack to finish cooling completely.
