Ingredients

1 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 large egg white, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup sifted cake flour
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

Position rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or coat with cooking spray.

Whisk together sugar, applesauce, egg white, oil and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Stir in raisins. Stir together oats, cake flour, whole-wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet with a wooden spoon, mixing just until blended.

Drop the dough by tablespoonfuls onto a prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 1 1/2 inches apart. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool.

A little dry, but yummy
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When I made the cookies, I found out at the last moment that I was out of apple sauce. I ended up substituting apple juice... and a quarter cup of chopped apple. The cinnamon and brown sugar really tie the flavor together. I added raisins and coconut to the cookies because I had it on hand. The cookies ended up tasting great, though a little dry due to my last-minute ingredient substitution. I'm definately going to use this recipe again. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the cookies harden on the top very quickly. Can someone give me a tip on storing the cookies, please?Read more

Made a lot of substitutions and still came out great!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These cookies are great. I substituted irish oats for regular, which I wouldn't recommend. I used chocolate chips instead... of raisins, and 1 cup of all purpose flour instead of the flour that they called for. Baked for about 15 minutes, and the cookies taste delicious! I will try next time with handrolled regular oats. Read more

Amazing!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I ran out of applesauce (only had 1/4 cup left) so i put half of a peeled and diced granny smith apple in and an extra table... spoon of oil. I also didn't have any cake flour so i just used whole wheat flour instead. I ended up having to cook them for about 22 minutes. They turned out great! I would deffenitly make them again.Read more

Good Healthier Snack
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really like these as a replacement for granola bars or muffins as a snack for my kids. You can omit as much of the sugar... as you want, and they are still good. And when I say "cookies" my kids want them, even though they are really just glorified oatmeal!Read more

Too Cakey for My Taste
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Although these cookies do have decent flavour (after cutting back the sugar), I found them very cakey; not what I'm looking... for in an oatmeal cookie. I also only cooked them for 10 min which was too long - they were bordering on dry. IF I tried them again, I would definitely cut back on the flour and the cooking time.Read more

Great healthy alternative...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These cookies deserve 5 stars! I left out the raisins because I'm not a fan but did add butterscotch chips. They add a nice... sweetness without completly ruining the idea of a healthy cookie. I, like the others, used all purpose flour and I also baked mine for less than 15 minutes and they were nicely done. Not too gooey but still soft. Next time I think I'll take the salt down to just a dash. They were a bit too salty for me. I also thought of adding dried cranberries next time as well!Read more
