Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats, divided
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground cloves
  • ¾ cup water
  • 3 tablespoons flaxseed, ground
  • 1 cup applesauce, no added sugar (or 1 small apple*)
  • 1 cup strawberry jam, fruit juice-sweetened (or 1 lb fresh strawberries*)
  • 8 Medjool dates, pitted and diced
  • ¾ cup pecan pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay parchment paper on two cookie sheets.
  2. Combine 1½ cup of the rolled oats, baking powder, and spices into large bowl and set aside.
  3. In either a blender or food processor, combine ground flaxseed, water, applesauce, strawberry jam and the remaining 1½ cups of rolled oats. Process until the batter has an even consistency.
  4. Pour fruit mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Whisk together until evenly mixed. Stir in dates and pecans. The mixture should be slightly wet; don’t expect to shape cookies into balls.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the batter onto prepared cookie sheets. Once the dough is on the tray, these cookies won’t spread so you can place them close together.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Let cookies cool for a few minutes and then enjoy warm! Wrap up extras to share.

Notes

CHEF’’S NOTE

If you prefer to make the more whole food version of this cookie, use a fresh apple and 1 pound of strawberries. You could either 1) add the fresh fruit to the blender raw, or 2) make a homemade apple-strawberry fruit spread by bringing the fruit to a boil on the stove top, let reduce, and then add the cooked fruit to the blender.
