Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup Organic brown sugar
- 0.75 cup Molasses
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Oat milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
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, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Step 3
In another bowl, mix the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, molasses, melted coconut oil, oat milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 4
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually, stirring until a firm dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, or if it's too dry, add a bit more plant-based milk.
Step 5
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
Step 6
Use a pig-shaped cookie cutter to cut out the marranitos and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 7
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the cookies are set.
Step 8
Allow the marranitos to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
