Healthy Apple Cinnamon Cookies
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:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (175°C) and line or grease a baking sheet
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg in a medium bowl and set aside.
- 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.
- Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir just until combined. Stir in the oats and apples, again stirring just until combined.
- Form the dough into about 2 tablespoons each and place on baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 – 12 minutes or until the middle appears to be set. They can burn easily so keep an eye on them!
- Let cool on the baking sheet before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container for about 3 days and then refrigerate to keep them fresh.
