Oatmeal Apple Cookies: An Autumnal Cookie Delight Year-Round
It’s no coincidence that oatmeal is considered a superfood. It tastes great and provides fiber, which not only keeps you full for a long time but also supports digestion. Plus, oats are also an excellent source of complex carbohydrates, which provide long-lasting energy to sustain you throughout the day. With this great ingredient, you can create all sorts of sweet and savory treats, like our oatmeal apple cookies that are as yummy as they are nourishing. Not to mention, oats are an incredibly affordable ingredient!
Four our oatmeal apple cookies, small apple cubes will provide a pleasant sweetness and moistness that perfectly complements the crispy texture of the rolled oats. Like their oat-counterpart, apples are also healthful. This beloved fruit is rich in vitamin C and contains many important antioxidants. It would seem there was actually some truth in the saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Just replace the raw apple with an oatmeal apple cookie. They’re relatively healthy! Or, at least healthier than many conventional cookie recipes.
Preparing our oatmeal apple cookies take only about ten minutes and baking takes another 15 minutes. Which means, this is a truly quick recipe! And the result is impressive. You can adapt this basic recipe to your heart’s, and stomach’s, content. Try replacing the sugar with honey for an even more natural sweetness. Dates or banana pieces could also add an interesting touch to the cookies. And if you like it a little more tart, you can add chopped dark chocolate and mix it into the dough. We wish you happy baking!
We at Scrumdiddlyumptious believe that any time of day can and should be sweet. That’s why we have curated recipes like our cherry oat bars, air fryer baked oats, and oatmeal honey muffins.
