The perfect portable make-ahead breakfast, these chewy oatmeal apple breakfast cookies are energy packed and lightly sweetened to make them loved by all!
Can I get a quick fist pump for fall baking season? It is my favorite time of year for baking because it centers around two of my most beloved ingredients: apples and pumpkins.
Pumpkin muffins, apple cider donuts, you name it, I’m finding a way to make it healthier with apples and pumpkins.
My secret weapon? Molasses! Thick, syrupy and 100% fall, I love using molasses in baked goods. With school back in session, I wanted to create a fun and portable breakfast cookie that was high in flavor, low in sugar.
Packed with whole grains, healthy fats and protein, these chewy apple oatmeal breakfast cookies are an ideal make-ahead breakfast or lunch box treat.
When served with a tall glass of milk you get over 12 grams of protein per serving – just the type of energy kids need to get through their school day.
What are your favorite ways to bake with apples? I’d love to hear from you!
