I love bringing these cookies to parties or potlucks as a healthy dessert option. Plus, who doesn’t love s’mores? Since they are mostly carbohydrates, enjoy them after a meal high in protein with a little fat to keep your blood sugar stable.

Oatmeal flax s’mores cookies

Servings: 16 cookies

INGREDIENTS

1.5 cups quick oats
1/2 cup oat bran (or grind more oats into a flour consistency)
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
3 tbsp jet-puffed marshmallow bits
3 tbsp mini chocolate chips
2 tbsp ground flaxseed + 6 tbsp water

METHOD

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Make flax eggs by combining ground flaxseed and water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes until a gel consistency is formed.
In a medium bowl combine quick oats, oat bran, brown sugar, and baking powder.
In a separate bowl combine applesauce, vanilla, and flax egg.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until combined. Stir in marshmallow bits and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop batter onto a liberally greased cookie sheet until 16 cookies are formed. Bake for 10 minutes. *The cookies will look slightly under baked.*
Remove from the oven, allow to cool on cookie sheet for 3-5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until cookies are cooled completely.
