Instructions

1

Fold in Chips and Nuts

Start by mixing the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and kosher salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, applesauce, melted butter, egg, and vanilla until everything’s nicely combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir until just mixed. Then fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts.

2

Chill Dough and Preheat

Pop the dough into the fridge for at least half an hour, or you can leave it chilled for up to three days if you want to bake later. When you’re ready, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

3

Scoop and Flatten Dough

Take the dough out of the fridge and let it sit for a few minutes if it feels too stiff to scoop. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the baking sheet in balls about 1 1/2 inches wide, leaving a little space between each. Gently press each ball down with your fingers until it's about 3/4 inch thick.

4

Bake and Cool Cookies

Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes, until they turn golden and feel firm around the edges but still set on top. Once out of the oven, let them cool on the baking sheet for a couple of minutes before moving them to a wire rack to finish cooling. Enjoy!

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

These cookies offer a wholesome twist on a classic treat by using honey instead of refined sugar. They provide natural sweetness along with the benefits of oats, making them a satisfying snack that feels both nourishing and delicious.

Serving Suggestions

Enjoy these cookies with a warm cup of tea or a glass of milk for a comforting snack. They also pair well with fresh fruit or a dollop of yogurt for a balanced breakfast or midday treat.

Storage Tips

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer freshness, freeze them in a sealed bag for up to three months and thaw at room temperature before serving.
