Charlotte’s Oatmeal Cookies – Egg Free, Diary Free

If you are looking for a healthier cookie recipe, these oatmeal cookies are not only low in fat but use less flour than other recipes. And they are a perfect treat for kids who have allergies to eggs or diary.

This recipe comes from the family of our very own Kevin Moffitt at Utah Valley Pediatrics.

Ingredients

• 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/3 cup light olive oil or vegetable oil
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 2 cups raisins
• 1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
• 3 cups oats

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. In a bowl, mix together the applesauce, oil, brown sugar, white sugar, and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
4. Mix the ingredients from both bowls together a little at a time.
5. Mix in the raisins, walnuts, and oats.
6. Drop the dough from a teaspoon onto the cookie sheet. Either use a silpat or parchment paper or grease the cookie sheet well. (Note: It will be much easier to get the cookies off a silpat or parchment paper).
7. Bake for 10 to 13 minutes depending on size. They should be slightly undercooked.
