20 Calorie Apple Oatmeal Cookies




Fall is in full swing, and clearly I have caught Apple Fever - 
I based these cookies on traditional oatmeal raisin cookies, but instead of raisins I used apple chunks!

These cookies are also lower-calorie than regular cookies because of the oat flour, and they do not have any regular sugar or butter/oil

These are also gluten free, dairy free, and vegan :)



Recipe:
1 tablespoon Oats - 32 calories
2 tablespoons Oat Flour - 44 calories
3 tablespoons Unsweetened Apple Sauce - 19 calories
1/4 of a medium Honeycrisp Apple - 20 calories
1 tablespoon Pumpkin Puree - 5 calories
1 tablespoon Stevia
Cinnamon(to taste)                                                          
= 120 calories total, makes 6 cookies - 20 calories per cookie

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Mix together oats, flour, apple sauce, pumpkin, stevia, and about 1 teaspoon cinnamon - refrigerate for 20-30 minutes
3. Wash and cut up apple into small pieces
4. Spoon the batter onto a parchment paper lines cookie sheet - makes 6 cookies
5. Smooth the cookies out, they do not spread while baking - then top with apple pieces and sprinkle cinnamon on top
6. Bake about 10-12 minutes - remove from oven and let cool, store in an airtight container
