Food of the Week: Apple Pie Oatmeal Cookies

I thought it was about time to include a healthy dessert! These are my favorite treats, but they are absolutely addicting so I only make them every once in while, however, each cookie is about 90 calories and fruit filled :)

This should make anywhere between 10-15 cookies, depending on the size:

Ingredients: 
1 Cup Instant Oats
3/4 Cup Whole Wheat Flour 
1 and a 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder
1 and a 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons of coconut oil (or unsalted butter), melted 
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
1/2 cup of agave 
1 cup of finely diced red apple (or about one medium sized red apple)

Directions: 
1. Whisk oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl (medium size) and in a separate bowl, whisk coconut oil (or butter), egg, and vanilla. Add the agave into the oil, egg and vanilla mix after whisked and then add the flour mix to the bowl, stirring just until the flour mix is incorporated. Fold in the apple and refrigerate for 30 minutes (no less!). 
2. Preheat the oven to 325 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. 
3. Drop the cookie dough into 15 rounded scoops (if possible), and slightly flatten them. Bake at 325 for 13-15 minutes. Let cool and enjoy! 

For reheating them I just pop them in the microwave for a few seconds, and they are just as delicious the second time around!
