With an abundance of apples and a double batch of homemade Slow Cooker Applesauce already produced, I started thinking of other ways to use our apples. I came up with this recipe after looking at several ideas online...
Many breakfast cookie, muffin and oatmeal recipes have so much added sugar you will be giving your little sweet pea a sugar rush before he or she starts the day. These breakfast cookies have a mere teaspoon per cookie, or only 4 grams of added sugar.
Plus, these cookies are full of fiber, with all whole-grain flour, oats and flax. In other words, there cookies pack a powerful punch!
Oatmeal, Flax and Apple Breakfast Cookies
1 cup oats
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/2 cup ground flax seed (aka, flax meal)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 egg
2 unpeeled apples, shredded (to measure about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
2/3 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins (or other dried fruit)--optional
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients (oats through ginger) and stir until combined.. In a medium bowl, combine the wet ingredients (egg through vanilla extract) and stir until combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Add the raisins, if using.
Drop the cookie mixture by heaping tablespoon, onto cookie sheets. Bake 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are slightly browned.
Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies.

I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I've never made a breakfast cookie! I have had them on my "list of things to make" for probably two years now :) I think it's time!! These sound great.
Sound.yummy.going to try tomorrow
I needed something to fill up my kids and was excited to try these. I made them with chocolate chips and zucchini and they are a hit! Thank you!
My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
