So My husband and I have been trying to learn to eat healthier and lose weight since January of this year, We have changed a lot of things, We still really struggle on the weekends. I love baking, But I was realizing that my baking was terrible haha..
So I begin to search for Healthier recipes, But still let me make treats once in a while.. Well proudly this is only the 2nd time I've made anything like this since January. :)
Anyways, On with the good stuff, I found this recipe for Low calorie chewy chocolate chip oat meal cookies!! I got excited.
So when I went grocery shopping I grabbed the couple of things I needed to make this and finally got a chance to make them today!! And thought I just had to share with ya'll!
Low calorie chewy chocolate chip cookies.
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unpacked brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups quick oats
- 3/4 cup semi chocolate chips
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sugars on medium speed.
Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.
Working by hand, stir in the flour mixture and the oats until just combined and no streaks of flour remain; stir in the chocolate chips.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly (I forgot to do this). Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until cookies become light brown at the edges.
Let cool on baking sheet for 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container so you don't eat them all in one sitting!
