Calories: 119kcal
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup vegan butter softened
- ⅔ cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 large Granny Smith apple cored and diced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream together the vegan butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the applesauce and vanilla extract to the bowl and mix until fully combined.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the rolled oats and diced apples until evenly incorporated.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
- Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of the scoop or your fingers.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Notes
- Don’t over-mix: Otherwise, the cookies may become tough/dry.
- Lightly flatten the dough: These cookies don’t spread a lot, so gently flatten them with the back of the scoop or your fingers before baking.
- Don’t overbake: Remove when lightly golden, they’ll still look soft and a little underbaked, but continue to cook and set as they cool.
