Description

These soft, hearty cookies are the kind you feel good about grabbing for breakfast or a snack. I first made them for a busy week ahead, and they became an instant staple—nutty, slightly sweet, and packed with fuel to keep you going.

 


Ingredients

Scale

3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened applesauce (or mashed banana)

1 cup peanut butter (or any nut/seed butter)

¼ cup ground flaxseed

¼ cup chia seeds

¼ cup pure maple syrup

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract


Instructions

Preheat Oven: Set to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

 

Mix Everything: In a large bowl, combine all ingredients until well blended.

 

Shape Cookies: Scoop out dough and flatten slightly into rounds on the baking sheet.

 

Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden on the edges.

 

Cool: Let cool on a wire rack before storing.
