🛒 Ingredients
🍎 1 cup rolled oats
(90 g)
🍏 1 large apple, grated
(about 1 cup)
🥚 1 egg
🌿 1 teaspoon cinnamon
🥄 1 teaspoon baking powder (optional for softer cookies)
🍯 1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
🥄 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Step 2: Prepare the Apple
Wash and grate the apple using a fine grater.
Keep the natural apple juice because it helps make the cookies soft and moist.
Step 3: Mix the Dough
In a large bowl, add:
- Rolled oats
- Grated apple
- Egg
- Cinnamon
- Baking powder
- Vanilla extract
- Honey (optional)
Mix everything together until a soft cookie dough forms.
Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so the oats absorb the moisture.
Step 4: Shape the Cookies
Using a spoon, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking tray.
Shape into small round cookies and gently flatten the tops.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes until the cookies are lightly golden and firm around the edges.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Let the cookies cool for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy them warm or store them for later.
