Vegan Flourless Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

I am always experimenting with flourless cookie recipes.  It's a hit or miss method leaving out flour.  I've found if you add quick oats your worries are over.  The oats give you the bulk that using flour does, and the heartiness of the oats helps keep all your ingredients together.

You can easily add vegan chocolate chips or nuts to this recipe also!

Ingredients:

1 cup smooth organic peanut butter

1/4 cup organic applesauce 

1 t organic sweet cinnamon 

1/2 t baking soda

1/4 t sea salt 

1 egg replacement (I used Follow Your Heart Egg)

2 cups organic quick oats

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Line a large baking sheet with unbleached parchment paper, set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter and applesauce.  Thoroughly mix in the remaining ingredients. If you are adding chocolate chips and/or nuts, add those now also.

Scoop up a tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball, place on the lined baking sheet, and repeat with remaining dough.  Flatten each ball of dough using the back of a large spoon.

Bake 10-12 minutes, the edges should only slightly brown.
