Ingredients

Nut Butter Version

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened natural creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 heaping cup raisins, plus additional for topping

Version without Nut Butter

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 cup quick oats
  • 1/4 cup raisins, plus additional for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Line a large baking sheet with silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, add almond butter (if using), applesauce, syrup and cinnamon. Stir until completely blended and everything is evenly mixed.
  • Stir in oats until all oats are completely incorporated and coated. Stir in raisins until they are evenly incorporated.
  • Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough and place onto prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart.
  • Using the palm of your hand, press down on cookie balls so that they become flat and round and about 1/3 inch thick. The cookies will not spread when baking so you want to shape the dough to be what you want the final outcome of the cookies to look like. Add a few more raisins on top of each cookie, pressing them gently into the surface. You can also add other dried fruits like dried cranberries or blueberries. In my photos I added a few dried cranberries on top of each cookie.
  • Bake cookies for about 10-12minutes or until oats are cooked and cookies look baked. If making the version without almond butter, the cookies will remain quite pale. Remove cookies from oven and let them cool completely before removing them from the cookie sheet.
