- 1 3/4 cup oat flour
- 1 apple finely diced
- 2 tbsp applesauce
- 7 tbsp solid coconut oil slightly softened
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar *Can use 1/2 monk fruit
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- pinch pink sea salt
Streusel
- 1/4 cup solid coconut oil
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup monk fruit
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup oat flour
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
Glaze
- 3/4 cup Monk fruit powdered sugar *Can use regular
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-3 tbsp milk, as needed
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F.
- Finely dice the apple into small chunks. Place a medium pan on medium heat. Add the apples, 1 tsp coconut oil, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Toss everything together and cook a few minutes until the apples have softened. Remove from heat.
- Add the oil and sugar to a large mixing bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat the two together for a minute or two until light and fluffy. Then beat in the remaining ingredients. Then, stir in the apples.
- Drop rounds of dough onto a lined cookie sheet. Using your palm, gently flatten them slightly. You can make a slight indent in the center of each for the streusel.
- Add the streusel ingredients to a bowl and use your fingers to mix everything together to create a crumble. Add a little to each cookie, gently pressing it into the tops so it sticks
- Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden and set. Let cool completely.
- For the glaze, add the sugar to a bowl and add 1 tbsp of milk at a time, until you reach your desired glaze consistency. Drizzle over each cookie and enjoy!
