Total Time: 15m

Yield: 18 mini or 10 large cookies

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup rolled oats

• scant 1/2 cup applesauce or mashed banana

• 1/4 cup almond or cashew butter OR allergy-friendly sub

• pinch salt

• 2-3 tbsp mini chocolate chips or sugar free chocolate chips

• 2 1/2 tbsp freeze-dried raspberries OR 2 tbsp dried fruit or more chocolate chips

• optional 2 tbsp sugar or pinch stevia (see note below)

• optional add-ins, such as chia seeds, shredded coconut, etc.

Instructions

*Especially if using banana, you can easily omit the added sweetener entirely for a wholesomely delicious taste that’s like eating mini muffins in the form of a cookie. If you’d prefer more of a dessert taste, add extra sweetener as desired, starting with the listed 2 tbsp and going from there – if you want to use a liquid sweetener, just cut back on the banana or applesauce.
