How to make healthy Applesauce Oatmeal Cookies for kids
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mash the banana
- Add applesauce, oats and cinnamon to the banana and mix with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated
- Take a tablespoon and spoon out the dough, roll it into a ball and place on your baking tray. Repeat as many times as you have the dough for (most likely 6 cookies)
- Gently flatten each ball. These cookies won't expand in size when baked, so the shape you put them in the oven is the shape they will come out
- Bake for about 12 minutes. The cookie is done when they turn golden brown and you are able to easily lift it off the tray with a spatula.
Notes
- If using store-bought applesauce use unsweetened where the only ingredient is apples.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free oats
- You can substitute either the banana or the applesauce with an egg, but you may have to add more sweeteness
