Apple-Cinnamon Breakfast Cookies image

While everyone loves an ooey-gooey chocolate cookie in the afternoon, a morning cookie should be less decadent. One perfect solution: These delicious cookies with oaty goodness, sweetness from apples and maple syrup, and the apple-pie spices cinnamon and nutmeg.

Time 20m

Yield about 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 large apple, peeled
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/3 cup coconut oil, warm enough to be liquid
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Grate the apple, and squeeze out the excess liquid. (This is a great snack for the kids; they love the fresh apple juice!) Mix the grated apple with the applesauce, coconut oil and maple syrup in a large bowl.
  • Stir together the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg and salt in a medium bowl. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  • Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet using a 1/4-cup measuring cup. Leave 2 inches between each cookie. Bake until lightly golden, 10 to 13 minutes.
