3/4 cup whole wheat flour


1/2 tsp baking soda


1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon


1/4 cup sugar 
2 Tbs olive oil

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce


1 egg

3/4 cup dry oats


3/4 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 cup raisins
or chocolate chips





Preheat oven to 350F. Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper. You can spray the pan if you do not have parchment paper, but I recommend buying some because it makes cleanup a breeze.

In a mixing bowl (I used my Mix Master) beat olive oil together with the sugar. Add in applesauce and egg and beat well. Add oats and mix until incorporated. Now sift the flour mixture (salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and flour) into wet ingredients and beat on medium until well incorporated. Do not over mix or it will quickly toughen the gluten in the flour, especially the whole wheat/wheat flour. Add the vanilla extract and mix. Quickly incorporate chocolate chip or raisins. Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop the batter onto the parchment paper and flatten the cookies.

Cook for 15 minutes.

Makes 15 cookies
