Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies are so good and were easy to make (since I had all the ingredients in my pea-sized kitchen!). I adapted this recipe from SkinnyTaste.com to add a little bit more fiber and protein.

Ingredients:
Dry Ingredients
-1 cup whole wheat flour
-1 tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tbsp ground cinnamon
-2 cups quick oats

Wet Ingredients
-1 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 packets monk fruit/ stevia
-2 tbsp unpacked brown sugar
-1/4 cup egg beaters/ egg substitute
-1/4 cup apple sauce
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350°; line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking sheets.

In a medium bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and quick oats.
In a large bowl, with a mixer, cream together the butter and the sweetener, sugars on medium speed.
Add the egg, followed by the applesauce and vanilla extract.

Add the chocolate chips.

Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (approx 1 tbsp each) of the dough onto prepared baking sheets, flattening each cookie slightly.
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.

Little bundles of fibery goodness!

Yummmmmm!
