Health Benefits
Rolled Oats: A fiber-rich ingredient that helps in keeping you full longer and aids in digestion. Apples: Packed with vitamins and antioxidants, apples add natural sweetness and moisture. Eggs: Provide structure and richness, contributing to the protein content. Dried Cranberries: Add a tangy sweetness and are a good source of antioxidants.
Preparation Steps
Blending Oats: Start by turning your rolled oats into a fine flour using a blender. This is the base of our cookie dough.
Mixing Dry Ingredients: Transfer the blended oats to a bowl, add baking powder and cinnamon, and mix. These dry ingredients will ensure our cookies have a lovely rise and flavor.
Preparing Apples: Core the apples without peeling them, cut into large pieces, and add to your oat mixture. The apples add moisture and natural sweetness.
Combining All Ingredients: Incorporate the egg whites, vanilla extract, and dried cranberries into the mix. This combination will give you a sandy yet firm and soft dough.
Baking Process: With a spoon, place dollops of the dough on a baking tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (360°F) for 25 minutes. The result? Golden, fragrant cookies.
