Came up with this recipe one evening and they turned out sweet, healthy, filling, and delicious! Perfect for breakfast or dessert!

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil (melted)
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons plain greek yogurt
  • 1⅓ cup coconut sugar or unrefined sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1¼ cups diced apples

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (175°C) and line or grease a baking sheet
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl and set aside.
  3.  In a large bowl mix together the melted coconut oil, greek yogurt, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Let sit for 5 minutes to give the sugar a chance to dissolve, and then stir one more time.
  4. Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir just until combined. Stir in the oats and apples, again stirring just until combined.
  5. Form the dough into about 2 tablespoons each and place on baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until the middle appears to be set. They can burn easily so keep an eye on them!
  7. Let cool on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Store in an airtight container for about 3 days and then refrigerate to keep them fresh.
