As my Nan’s on a diet and refuses to eat anything sweet so I decided to make these healthier option, Apple and Oatmeal cookies! Everyone was surprised at these, we weren’t expecting them to be so nice! This is the easiest cookie recipe I’ve found so don’t worry!
You will need:
- 1 apple, cored and chopped into small bits.
- 175g oats
- 120g plain flour
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda (BoS)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 115g soft unsalted butter
- 100g soft light brown sugar
- 50g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method:
1. Mix together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, BoS and salt in a bowl.
2. In another bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla and beat well. Pre-heat oven the gas mark 4. Line the base of a baking tray with grease proof paper.
3. Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg one and mix just until they have been mix together, add in the apple and oats and mix well. Put in the fridge for 30 minutes.
4. Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 tbsp worth of dough) and squash down on the baking tray. Bake for 12 – 15 minutes. Enjoy!
I’ve never had apple cookies – what a great idea!
Oatmeal is a favorite of my husband. I like to try adding different things and adding the apple sound delicious. Like a warm bowl of oatmeal with apples on top.
Warm oatmeal with apple sounds nice, I will ask my nan if I can try it
I’m a lover of both apples and oatmeal, great idea! 🙂
Looks so yummy!
How different. I think I could even eat these for breakfast and not feel bad about it.
Oh my these look amazing I am getting hungry just looking at them!

I’m so delighted that I noticed your web-site.
I always battle with different recipe ideas. We have my parents heading
over next saturday and sunday so I’ve been searching for something special.
And I feel that I’ve identified the ideal recipe! I’ll let you know once I’ve had the opportunity
to give it a shot. Thanks for the great idea.
Thank you, we were looking for some healthier options as my nan is trying to lose weight and these seemed ideal. I have made them twice since as they were so good.
mmm cookies. apple cinnamon sounds so good!
The apple and cinnamon go really well together
Wow this sounds like a great idea! i had never thought of putting apples in cookies that definitely makes them a little healthier right? Then I can have more than one without feeling guilty!
That was exactly what I though Stephanie 🙂 We made some muffins last night with cranberries, recipe coming soon
This looks like really healthy, but still delicious treat. Both full of fiber and energy.
These look like pure happiness! Great recipe!
