Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup no-calorie sweetener (like Stevia or erythritol)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients

- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix-ins
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, no-calorie sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Baking
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the tops look set.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For softer cookies, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking. These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
