4-Ingredient Applesauce Cookies

oats

applesauce (sweetened)

peanut butter (or any nut

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), lightly grease a baking sheet, and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened applesauce, oats, peanut butter, and cinnamon and mix well.

Using your hands, form 12 balls, and place them on the lined sheet, and press each ball into a cookie shape. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until firm around the edges.

Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.

These cookies were amazing! My children and I made them together as "breakfast cookies". We used unsweetened apple sauce, as we added in some semi-sweet mini chocolate chips. We also added in some sunflower seeds. The mixture still wasn't quite sweet enough, so we added in 1 tablespoon of maple syrup! We made smallish cookies, so we actually got 26 out of this recipe!

I added cacao nibs, gojucharu and a little agave -- yum!

These are AMAZING! So soft and delicious, I can't stop eating these and neither can my toddler! I added unsweetened coconut flakes, ground flax seeds, and mini chocolate chips. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

I made this exactly the way the recipe was written. However, I used crunchy peanut butter instead. Next time, I will use powdered peanut butter.  Will powdered peanut butter and half a banana be okay?  Your recipe  baked beautifully. Finally a healthy alternative . Thank you.

Wait for this you need only applesauce and peanut butter? Amazing!

I read many times that some recipes have applesauce. Then I researched and found out its very easy to make your own. So for sure will make my homemade.

Can i substitute the peanut for something else? My nephew has allergies

This is nice, but how can one make apple sauce.

My recipe made more than 12 good size cookies. I used unsweetened applesauce because I don't use refined sugar.  I added 1/2C of allulose brown sweetener &amp; next time I'll add 3/4C. I threw in some walnut pieces and raisins too. I'll add some apple pieces next time too or use chunky applesauce if I can find it unsweetened. 
They are easy and delicious. Thanks for the recipe!

Excellent cookies. My granddaughter and grandson loves them.
Even our dog likes the cookie for a healthy snack.

With whole grains and lower sugar, these Applesauce Cookies are bursting with fresh apple flavor. Plus, all you need to make them is a bowl and a spoon!

Favorite Applesauce Cookies

all-purpose flour

brown sugar

applesauce

butter ((or coconut oil))

vanilla extract

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Stir the ingredients together in a medium bowl. The batter will be fairly thick and sticky.

Use a 1 tablespoon spoon to portion out batter onto the prepared baking sheet, placing batter about 1 inch apart. Press down slightly so the cookies are about 1/2 inch thick.

Bake for 12-14 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly golden brown around the edges.

Remove from oven and let cool on the pan. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Would you recommend to use the same amount of honey to substitute for brown sugar? 1/3 cup? Thank you!

Not too sweet, very easy to make (toddler helped!), love the ingredients. Used whole wheat flour &amp; coconut sugar instead with no issues!

Just made these on request of my 3yo wanting to bake something and me having almost nothing in the house lol. Had to do a small tweak with using 1/2 cup of oats + 1/2 cup of pre packaged instant apple oatmeal, but it turned out SO GOOD.

I made these with pumpkin puree instead of applesauce, because I had to use it up first. They were great!
I added dried cherries, which I had a bunch of.
I used half spelt and half all-purpose flour
Trader Joe's oatmeal thats mixed with chia seeds and other grains
Added a pinch of nutmeg and flour.

Obviously, a very forgiving recipe!
Tomorrow ill use applesauce, and add some walnuts, maybe sub in some almond meal.

So easy. Perfect because I'm so low energy!

Thank you, Amy, for all you give to the parents out here struggling to feed our picky kids healthy food! Made these early this morning when couldn’t sleep. Super easy bc all pantry staples, one bowl.  Trying to get my guy used to consistency of rolled oats as he’s recently decided oats are not acceptable to his pallet and these fit the bill. 
Bottom line: They look like cookies but consistency more like muffin tops, but the (more desirable) presentation as a cookie for my son makes a difference so I’ll call them whatever will get him to eat them 😅. I added 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp ginger and after tasting the first mini-batch decided to add raisins for my 4yo who always wants something “special” to eat in place of meals 🤦🏼‍♀️. For me I’d up the spices, but for the mini-boss, I’ll likely keep it to the minor adjustments mentioned above.

Great cookie to make with your little one. Tastes a bit like a snickerdoodle. I added about a tablespoon of peanut butter since I did not have vanilla, and just perfect little snack. Most importantly: 3 yo loves them and is eating something other a chicken nugget or a goldfish!

What could I use in place of the brown sugar? Honey, monk fruit, etc?

Love this recipe I will definitely be making it again except for I will be changing it up with dried cranberries and chocolate chips. This recipe is so versatile it's even good just the way it is.

These turned out really yummy, soft and tasty. I only got 15 out of the recipe, using a tablespoon (but I'm usually heavy-handed). Very satisfying when needing a sweet snack. And they also seem healthier than reaching for a boxed cookie from the market. I'll make these again.

I like these as a healthy cookie option, they are more like sweet mini scones or biscuits than cookies. My toddlers had fun helping me make and eat them. :)

Since I am on a post-bariatric diet, I omitted the brown sugar, doubled the applesauce to 1 cup and added 1/2 tsp. ginger and 1/4 tsp. cloves. The cookies were delicious, especially warm out of the oven! 

My nine-year-old granddaughter loved them too and was delighted when I told her they don't count as a dessert and she can have as many as she wants!

Love this healthy oatmeal cookie.  Added a pinch of ground flax seed.  Reduced cinnamon to 3/4 tsp.  I used unsweetened applesauce.  Not overly sweet.  Made a batch using raisins and dried sweetened cranberries.  Excellent either version.  Would make again.

I would say that they’re more of a “biscuit”, but the flavor is nice, and I like that they’re a fairly healthy cookie alternative. 😊

Love these cookies! Super easy and quick, and they taste delicious. I made half as is, and added raisins to the other half. Both are a huge hit. I will definitely make these again (and will make a double batch next time because these are disappearing quickly)!! Thank you for sharing!

Good flavor but they seemed a little dry. I would make again.❤️
