Oatmeal Apple Cookie Ingredients

• sweet apples. Make sure the apple you’re using for this recipe is ripe and sweet. We don’t want to use apples that are sour in these cookies.
• Oats: we’ll use quick or ground oats and not white flour
• Almond flour – basically finely ground almonds
• Egg. We need an egg to hold the cookies together! However, if you can’t have eggs, this recipe will probably also work with flax- or chia egg (although I haven’t tried it yet!)
• Baking ingredients: this includes the usual suspects – coconut sugar as a more nutrient-dense alternative to white sugar, baking soda and baking powder
• Coconut oil to prevent the cookies from becoming dry and for the sweet coconut flavor
• Spices. Cinnamon and vanilla are a great addition to these cookies.
• Milk of choice – you can use almond or oat milk if you desire

How To Make Healthy Apple Cookies

• Chop and sautee the apples with coconut oil, some vanilla and cinnamon for about 5-6 minutes until softened and golden brown. Add a tiny pinch of salt, so that the sweetness comes out more. Add the milk to the apples and let them cook for 2-3 minutes.

• Add the egg, baking soda, melted coconut oil, apples in milk, coconut sugar, baking soda, rest of the vanilla, oats and almond flour to a bowl and mix. While mixing mash the apples roughly with a fork, as well as you can – there can and should be still apple chunks. Let the mixture cool off for 10 minutes in the fridge.

• Grab the apple mixture with a spoon and shape balls using your wet hands. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

• Flatten the balls to shape cookies and sprinkle with coconut sugar.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until the cookies become golden brown. 

• Take them out and allow about 15 minutes to cool off before taking a bite.

Enjoy the cookies or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
