Ingredients

1/2 cup rolled oats

scant 1/2 cup applesauce (can sub mashed banana)

1/4 cup roasted cashew butter (can sub another nut butter)

1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/16 tsp salt

1-2 tbsp mini chocolate chips or chunks

2 1/2 tbsp freeze-dried raspberries or other fruit

1 tablespoon sugar if using applesauce

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Mash the applesauce or banana with the nut butter, then add all other ingredients and mix until well-combined.

Shape into cookies (I used a mini cookie scoop) and bake on a greased cookie sheet for around 14-16 minutes, then let cool 10 minutes before removing from sheet.

This makes 18 mini cookies or 10-12 bigger cookies.
