These soft and chewy cookies are a perfect healthy treat to start your day or enjoy as a wholesome snack, featuring nutritious ingredients like flaxseed meal, applesauce, and almond milk.

  • Total Time: 30-35 minutes
  • Yield: 18-20 cookies

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp. flaxseed meal

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup applesauce (no sugar added)
  • 1 large egg
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
  • ⅓ cup honey
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp. almond milk

Add-ins

  • 4 oz. chocolate, chopped
  • 1 cup pitted, chopped cherries

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the proper baking temperature before you prepare the cookie dough.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and flaxseed meal. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute all the dry ingredients.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, melted coconut oil, egg, honey, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir until just combined, making sure there is no dry flour left visible but being careful not to overmix.
  5. Add Cherries and Chocolate: Gently fold in the chopped cherries and chopped chocolate pieces to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.
  6. Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or a heaping tablespoon, drop dollops of cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet spaced apart to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 14 to 16 minutes, or until the bottoms turn a golden brown hue, indicating they are fully baked and ready to be removed from the oven.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • For softer cookies, reduce baking time slightly.
  • Make sure cherries are pitted and chopped to avoid any hard bites.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any other milk of your choice.
  • If you prefer sweeter cookies, add an extra tablespoon of honey.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
