(Healthy) Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Lovely Loves

(for a ‘personal’ sized batch)

• 1/4 c. whole wheat pastry flour
• 1/4 c. quick cooking rolled oats
• 1/8 tsp. baking powder
• 1/8 tsp. baking soda
• 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
• pinch salt (1/16th tsp maybe)
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. light agave nectar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 tsp. water
• 1 Tbsp. unsweetened applesauce
• 20-30 g. vegan dark chocolate chips (depends on how chocolate-y you like them to be! I used 25 g.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (the only way to bake, if you ask me!) Mix all dry ingredients well in a small bowl. Add wet ingredients right into the dry in the same bowl and mix very well. (If you find your cookie dough is too dry at all, add like 1 tsp. more applesauce.) Form into balls on the parchment paper, and lightly pat down the tops to help them flatten. Bake about 10-12 min. Keep an eye on them, they won’t brown like you may be used too, and you don’t want them overdone! (They’ll be drier that way.) My batch made 9 cookies, if you make kind of ‘mini’ cookies, it will easily make a dozen. (If you are planning on eating the whole batch, mini cookies would be fun!)
