Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 large Egg white
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 medium Apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
• 0.5 cups Pecans, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, honey, egg white, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the finely diced apple and chopped pecans, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Slightly flatten the tops of the cookies with the back of a spoon or your fingers to ensure even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy your Low Fat Apple Pecan Oatmeal Cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
