• 3/4 c. applesauce
• 2 tbsp. organic canola oil
• 3/4 c. grade B maple syrup (or 1/2 c. sugar and 1/2 c. brown sugar)
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 c. spelt flour or whole wheat flour
• 1/4 c. instant oats (or 1 individual serving size package instant oatmeal, uncooked)
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips (choose vegan chocolate chips if you want your cookies to be vegan)
• 1/2 c. raisins (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Begin mixing oil, applesauce, and maple syrup or sugars together. Add salt, cinnamon, vanilla, flour, oats, baking soda, and baking powder. Mix together until “just mixed.”

Add chocolate chips and raisins and mix them in. Scoop 2 tbsp. sized globs of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are golden.

Makes 24 cookies.

Per cookie: 162.4 calories, 5.4g fat, 1.6g protein, 27.9 carbohydrates, 1.7g fiber, 3.2% RDA iron, 0.9% RDA calcium

You can substitute up to 1/3 c. organic soy flour instead of whole wheat flour to add protein.

Use a small ice cream scoop to scoop your cookies onto the cookie sheet. This way, all of your cookies will be the same size so they will finish baking at the same time.

Grade B maple syrup has more flavor and more nutrients than Grade A - plus, it's cheaper!
