Ingredients
- 1.5 cups rolled oats
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup packed brown sugar
- 0.25 cup apple sauce
- 2 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3
In another large bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract until smooth. Use a hand whisk or a mixer on a low setting for this step.
Step 4
Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the cookies remain tender.
Step 5
Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the cookie dough.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Ensure the cookies are spaced about 2 inches apart to allow them to spread during baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the tops appear dry.
Step 8
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy your low fat chocolate oatmeal cookies as a delightful and healthy treat!
