Make It This Way
This recipe is pretty forgiving, so you can switch it up to meet your own nutritional requirements. If you need a little more protein, then replace the applesauce with one egg. If you need more fiber, then replace the applesauce with a flax-egg (1 tablespoon freshly ground flax seed, mixed with 2 tablespoons of warm water. Just allow it to sit for five minutes before adding in normally to the recipe).
Try This
Try making an ice cream sandwich with a scoop or dairy-free vanilla ice cream between two of these cookies for an extra special treat!
These apple cinnamon oatmeal cookies are a great healthy cookie snack! The flavor combinations of the oatmeal, cinnamon, and apples, makes it familiar to an apple pie but in small bite sized portions which is great! These are a great and healthy alternative to most cookies and I love how they are loaded with fiber and good nutrients that will help keep you feeling full while satisfying any sweet cravings or cookie cravings that you may have! Great recipe, thanks for sharing! :D
Hello Health Nut,
Indeed, these are reminiscent of an apple pie. They're great to make for a snack or bake in bulk and freeze to have on the run!
