Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Granulated monk fruit sweetener
• 0.5 cup Dried cherries (unsweetened)
• 0.5 cup Pecans (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, egg, vanilla extract, and granulated monk fruit sweetener until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the dried cherries and chopped pecans to evenly distribute them throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.

Step 7

Gently press each cookie down with the back of a spoon to flatten slightly, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze them for longer storage.
