The Perfect Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
These oatmeal breakfast cookies are chewy, hearty, and slightly sweet. Made with rolled oats and a hint of cinnamon, they deliver a satisfying texture without being overly indulgent. Ideal for those who want a nutritious start to their day without sacrificing flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup flour (whole wheat or all-purpose)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips or raisins (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), peanut butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until fully combined. If desired, fold in chocolate chips or nuts.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon, as they won’t spread much while baking. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
