Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Unsweetened crushed pineapple (canned, drained)
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Sugar substitute (granular, suitable for baking)

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 medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In a separate larger mixing bowl, combine the crushed pineapple, egg, unsweetened applesauce, vanilla extract, and sugar substitute. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for slight spreading.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are set and the tops of the cookies are lightly golden.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Store the Pineapple Drops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
