Course: Dessert, Snack
Keyword: chocolate, comfort, cookies, plant-based, vegan, wfpb
Servings: 18 cookies

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup white whole-wheat flour plus 1 tablespoon
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 Tbs ground flaxseed
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp salt or less, if the peanut butter contains salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup apple sauce unsweetened
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter preferably salt-free
  • 1 Tbs vanilla

Add-In

  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips vegan
  • 1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the wet ingredients together.
  • Stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, and mix until all the dry ingredients are incorporated.
  • Stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
  • Use two spoons to add scoops of dough to the baking sheet. I get 12 on one sheet, and depending on the size of the cookies, perhaps 6 or 7 more. They don't spread so they can be fairly close. If you want to make them more round and flat, wet your fingers and shape them.
  • Bake 15 minutes.
  • Share and enjoy!
