OK, so It's official. I'm totally hooked on TV Show Girls. Like TOTALLY!  I've never watched one single episode while it was on TV. Never! I was not even remotely interested. And then recently the re-runs started on TV, 'cause the new season is starting in February (yeeey! <-- screaming quietly). And there I was one afternoon, caught watching one episode purely out of boredom. But the strange thing happened that afternoon. I liked that one episode.... and there was, of course, that gorgeous/sexy Adam aka Kylo Ren. So, anyway, the next day I decided to watch next episode of Girls re-runs. And then the next day another episode. And here I am ... HOOKED!

So the other day, I decide I'm going to make some dessert. Something sweet, to complement my afternoon tea while watching my (new) favorite show. I was thinking of Apple Carrot Muffins or Carrot Cake, but in my head, I kinda envisioned COOKIES. But not some crumbly cookies, yet soft, chewy and full of warm winter spices. And what I envision, I usually make!

That day, when Girls started on TV, next to me was these beautiful and fragrant, freshly baked Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies. The atmosphere was exactly how I've imagined - cozy couch, blanket, quiet house, warm cup of tea, cookies... and off course, Girls. Perfect!

The atmosphere was sooo good and cookies were sooo PERFECT that later on I decided to share all that on blog. Ok, let me tell you then about these Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies. These cookies are so incredibly soft and chewy, sweet and full of warm winter flavors. They are literally contagious. You can't just eat one and stop. The main ingredient is, of course, the apple. I used fresh organic Honeycrisp, but you can use any type of sweet and juicy apple.

I also used super healthy oats full of high-quality dietary fibers and whole wheat flour. I added coconut oil instead of butter and I used honey to sweeten up cookies. Also, I added some dried cranberries which gave a bit sourness to every sweet cookie bite. I spiced these Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cookies with warm spices - super healthy Ceylon cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats or quick oats
  • 3/4 cup whole grain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon Himalayan salt
  • 2 teaspoons Ceylon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon allspice
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin coconut oil in liquid form
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup or runny honey
  • 1 large sweet apple grated or chopped into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 356F (180C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper
  • In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients - flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and spices.
  • In a separate bowl whisk the egg. Add coconut oil, vanilla, and syrup or honey. Mix well with a whisk until well combined.
  • Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and mix. Finally, stir in the grated or chopped apples and dried cranberries or raisins. Mix gently with a spoon.
  • With a spoon, scoop the dough, then shape into slightly flattened balls. Arrange the cookies 2-inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake cookies 12 to 15 minutes. Watch for cookies and don’t over-bake them.
  • When you get them out of the oven, cookies will be soft. Leave them to cool for few minutes on the baking sheet then transfer them to a cookie rack to cool completely. They will harden after they cool down.

Notes

STORING: Keep cookies in a cookie jar or air-tight food container. They will last up to 5 days. You can keep them in the fridge. That way they will last longer. Place the cookies in a zip-lock bag and freeze up to 3 months. Thaw them at room temperature before serving.
As a measure, I used US cup (240ml).

      Glad you like it :) Yes, you can freeze them. Just put them in zip-lock bags and place in freezer. No need to reheat them, just thaw them for 10 minutes on room temperature. Enjoy :)

    Hi, can I substitute the whole wheat flour for almond flour?

      Hmm, not sure. Never tried it with almond flour. Almond flour acts a bit differently when mixing with wet ingredients, so you may need to add more liquid into the mixture. Give it a try without adding anything first, and if you notice the mixture is to dry (crumbly), add a bit of milk. Let me know how it turns out.

    Am I missing the recipe for the glaze?

    Reply

      March 21, 2019 at 5:44 pm

      Sorry for that. It's simple sugar glaze made of xylitol powder instead of confectioners' sugar. You'll need 1/2 cup xylitol powder and 1 teaspoon water or lemon juice. Mix until you get thick paste and pour over cookies (after they cool down). Leave for 10 minutes until glaze become firm. Enjoy! :)
