Title: Applesauce Granola Cookie
Ingredients:
– 1 cup oats
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup granola (make sure it’s vegan-friendly)
– 1/2 cup chopped almonds
– 1/2 cup brown sugar
– 1/2 cup maple syrup
– 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
– 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 tsp cinnamon
– 1/2 tsp baking soda
– 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, granola, chopped almonds, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to combine all the dry ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick cookie dough forms. If the dough feels too wet, you can add a little more flour. If it’s too dry, add a splash of almond milk.
5. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
6. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
