Jump to Recipe

These little cookies are packed with lots of nutrition and are guaranteed to fill your tank. I make a double batch, so I can have plenty available for my family of five who are constantly on-the-go. I pack 2 to a bag and freeze them, so my husband and children can each grab a bag when they’re heading out the door for a healthy snack later in the morning. Perfect with a nice cup of hot tea or coffee…and a great finish after that workout!

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

1 cup Old Fashioned Oats
½ cup Rice Flour you may use other flours, such as white, wheat, oat, etc.
½ cup Pepitas (pumpkin seeds) I usually use raw, unsalted* (sunflower seeds or any type nuts are good, too)
½ cup Craisins any dried fruit will do
¼ cup Flaxseed, ground
1 Tbsp Chia seeds
1 tsp Cinnamon
¼ tsp Salt
½ tsp Baking Powder

Wet Ingredients

½ cup Unsweetened Applesauce
3 Tbsp Honey
3 Tbsp Butter, melted Or coconut oil
2-3 Tbsp Oat Milk Or any milk...Rice, Cow's Grass, Soy, etc.

Instructions

Preheat Oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or if a Silpat Mat (I highly recommend these wonderful mats...they REALLY do prevent sticking and you don't have to keep messing with parchment paper and clean up is a breeze! And, no, I am not getting paid to say this ;))
Gather all of your ingredients.
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl: Oats, flour, Pepitas (seeds/nuts), Craisins (dried fruit), Chia Seeds, Flaxseed, Cinnamon, Salt and Baking Powder.
Mix well.
Add the wet ingredients one at a time to the dry ingredients, mixing well after adding each one. I usually start with the applesauce, then the honey, butter and lastly the milk. The consistency will be somewhat sticky.
Next, using a medium-sized cookie scoop (holds 1.5 Tbsp), scoop out the dough onto the lined cookie sheet. Gently press the cookies down with the palm of your hand to help flatten them out a little bit - these cookies do not spread out like normal cookies.
Bake for 15-18 minutes. You want these cookies to be somewhat soft.
