wanted a cookie for my kids less the two cups of sugar and butter. they keep well at room temp air tight container all week for a easy school day breakfast. i always make a double batch, split it in half for two different flavors. the recipe is really forgiving so play around with it. Ingredients:
1/2 cup greek yogurt (or sour cream, or reg yogurt) |
1/4 cup butter (room temp) |
1/2 cup sugar (more or less) |
2 eggs |
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or crushed pineapple or canned pumpkin sweet potato, etc) |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 cup whole wheat flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
cinnamon & nutmeg |
2 1/2 cups oats (i use a mix of quick and old fashioned) |
1/2 cup dried fruit (or frozen berries) |
1/2 cup nuts (rough chopp) |
Directions:
1. preheat oven to 350.
2. with a hand blender in a large bowl mix yogurt, butter sugar, and eggs add vanilla and apple sauce mix till blended.
3. put flours, baking powder, soda,and spices in bowl on top of wet mixture stir the dry together a bit before mixing all together.
4. add oats one cup at a time (mix will be thick).
5. add fruit and nuts. be creative! (our favorite is fig choc chip, blueberry almond, cherry choc chip, cran walnut, cran coconut with pineapple).
6. scoop 1/2 mix onto greased cookie sheets.
7. bake 20 to 30 minute time is aprox i just watch till dry and browning. (i usually flip for last ten mins to prevent over browning on the bottoms.).
