Cookies for breakfast! Yes, please. These grab-and-go breakfast cookies are chock-full of healthy ingredients, including oats, to give you long-lasting energy, deliciously.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking trays with parchment.
In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients – flour, oats, baking soda, salt, spices, nuts, seeds, dried fruit and chocolate chips.
In a separate bowl beat together eggs, oil, applesauce, brown sugar and vanilla.
Add wet ingredients to dry, mixing well until all dry ingredients are incorporated.
Using a 1/4 cup cookie scoop (or ice cream scoop), measure out 24 balls of dough onto prepared baking trays.
Flatten each cookie with a fork to a uniform thickness (approx. 1/2” thick).
Note: cookies do not spread in oven.
Bake for 15 minutes until lightly browned.
Transfer cookies to a cooling rack. Once cooled completely, transfer to an airtight container for storage. Cookies will keep at room temperature for one week, or may be frozen for up to three months.
