Healthy "Oatmeal Cookies"

I'm not the type of mom to try to pull one over on my kids, but... Maybe I have by accident with this recipe. I make these little biscuits that I refer to as cookies... They look like cookies, taste like a yummy snack, but are devoid of the copious amounts of butter and refined sugar that you get in a "regular" cookie. They are the perfect finger food, great for snacks, breakfast, or whenever.

Healthy Breakfast "Cookies"

2 cups old fashioned oats
3/4 cup apple sauce
1/4-1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
1/2 cup white whole wheat flour or spelt flour
1 tsp cinnamon or five spice powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup raisins, cranberries, or chopped prunes
1/2 cup walnuts (optional)


Preheat oven to 350. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, spice, and oats in medium mixing bowl or kitchen aid mixer. Mix in remaining ingredients until a stiff but pliable batter is formed. If too stiff, add more apple sauce. If too runny, add more flour and oats.

Drop by the tablespoon onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Cook 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
