Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup applesauce
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 2 tablespoons molasses
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat liner to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and ground ginger. Stir them together until evenly mixed.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the applesauce, melted coconut oil, molasses, and egg to the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms an even cookie dough.
  4. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, drop balls of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cookies for 15 minutes, or until they are set and lightly golden around the edges.
  6. Cool: Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the sheet before transferring to a container.
  7. Store and Enjoy: Store the cookies in an airtight container. They make a delicious and convenient breakfast or snack anytime.

Notes

  • You can substitute molasses with honey if molasses is unavailable, but this will slightly alter the flavor.
  • For a vegan version, replace the egg with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes).
  • Adding chopped nuts or raisins can enhance texture and flavor.
  • Make sure to use rolled oats, not instant oats, for better texture.
  • Store cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
