Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies Recipe (One Bowl)

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup honey
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup of your preferred mix-ins (mini chocolate chips - 1/3 cup is enough, dried cranberries, chopped nuts or coconut flakes)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.

2. 2

   In a bowl, stir together the flaxseed and water. Let it sit for 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Add the applesauce, honey, cinnamon, vanilla, baking soda and salt. Stir together until everything is well mixed.

4. 4

   Add the oats and whole wheat flour and stir to mix them in.

5. 5

   Stir in the chocolate chips or other mix-ins.

6. 6

   Use a spoon to scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet. You can place them close together because the cookies will not spread.

7. 7

   Bake the cookies for 10-11 minutes, until they are slightly golden brown.
