3 Ingredient Cranberry Oatmeal Cookies
These soft and chewy cranberry oatmeal cookies are just 3 ingredients and healthier than traditional cranberry oatmeal cookies. They don't contain any flour, refined sugar, eggs or butter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (90 g) quick oats
- 3/4 cup (187 g) unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup (30 g) dried cranberries, roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Add oats and applesauce to a large mixing bowl. Stir until the oats are evenly mixed and fully coated in applesauce. The mixture will be thick and wet.
- Stir in dried cranberries until evenly mixed throughout the cookie dough.
- Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop out cookie dough. Release cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the dough balls about 1.5 inches apart. Use the back of a metal spoon to press down on each cookie dough ball so that it forms a thick round disk. Smooth the sides of the cookie disks if desired. The cookies will not spread during baking so you want to shape the cookies to how you want the final outcome to be.
- Bake cookies for about 13-14 minutes or until the cookies are done (the surface should no longer be wet). Let the cookies cool on their baking sheet before removing them. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Roughly chop the dried cranberries so that they are smaller and will be more evenly distributed in the cookies.
- The cookies are only lightly sweetened. If you prefer sweeter, you can use mashed bananas instead of applesauce or you can add 1-2 tbsp of honey or maple syrup to the cookie dough.
- I used dried cranberries lightly sweetened with applesauce. I found that the lightly sweetened cranberries along with the applesauce was just enough sweetness for the cookies. If you are using unsweetened cranberries, you likely will want to add honey or maple syrup to the cookie dough so that the cookies are sweet enough.
