Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Chopped apple (peeled and diced)
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

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, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Gently fold in the diced apple and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to form cookie shapes.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies soft and chewy.

Step 9

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 10

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