Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour (or finely ground oats)
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar or granulated sweetener of choice
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 tablespoons almond milk (or milk of choice)

Add-ins

  • 1/4 cup mini dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute all the dry components.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the unsweetened applesauce, coconut oil (or melted butter), vanilla extract, and almond milk to the dry mixture. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and you have a consistent batter.
  4. Add Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the mini dark chocolate chips into the batter to ensure they are evenly dispersed without breaking them up.
  5. Form Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet. Slightly flatten each scoop to help them bake evenly.
  6. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a light golden color, indicating they are done.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your healthy cookies!

Notes

  • Oat flour can be made at home by grinding rolled oats in a blender or food processor until fine.
  • Coconut sugar can be substituted with any granulated sweetener such as erythritol or stevia blends, but adjust sweetness accordingly.
  • For a vegan version, use coconut oil and almond milk as suggested; for non-vegan, melted butter and dairy milk work fine.
  • Be careful not to overbake; cookies will continue to firm up while cooling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
