Ingredients
The following ingredients have 12 Servings
- 3 cups rolled oats, divided
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 3 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
- 1 cup applesauce, no added sugar
- 1¼ cup strawberry fruit spread, no added sugar
- 8 dates, pitted and diced
- ¾ cup pecan pieces
Instruction
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Mix 1½ cups of the rolled oats, the baking powder, and the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves) in a large bowl and set aside.
- In either a blender or food processor, combine the ground flaxseed, ¾ cup water, applesauce, and the remaining 1½ cups of rolled oats. Process until the batter has an even consistency. Then, add the strawberry jam, and blend for a few seconds to combine.
- Pour the fruit mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk until everything is evenly mixed. Then stir in the dates and pecans. The mixture should be slightly wet; don’t expect to shape the cookies into balls.
- Drop 12 spoonfuls of dough onto each baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes and then enjoy warm! Store any uneaten cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
