Here’s a vegan version of the Fresh Apple Oatmeal Cookies recipe, along with instructions and nutritional information:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave nectar
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium apple, peeled and diced
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
- In another bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, maple syrup or agave nectar, melted coconut oil or vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
- Fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts or pecans, if using, until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
