THM E Oatmeal Cookies {Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookies}

0 Flares Filament.io 0 Flares ×

This time of year I start getting excited about holiday baking.

The pies, cakes, cookies, and candies – all of my favotires – and the delicious smells they fill my house with!  Mid-November I start brainstorming, gathering recipes, making sure I have enough baking supplies, tupperware containers, and freezer space for all of the baking I plan to do.

Any other baking fanatics out there?

Love or hate the holiday season, ya'll have to admit that there's something crazy tempting about holiday baked goods.

But this year it's a little bit different, because i'm a Trim Healthy Mama.

Thankfully, this doesn't mean going without dessert – in fact, I can have as much dessert as I want!  If it was my heart's desire, I could eat ONLY dessert and still being eating within plan guidelines.

And let's be honest, that's  big reason why I love THM.

So, I'll be over here baking dessert and eating them to my heart's content during the holidays, but with a few variations so that they fall neatly within the two types of THM meals: E (protein and carbs, but no fat) and S (protein and fat, but no carbs).

These THM E oatmeal cookies are no exception!

They're perfectly on plan as an E dessert, but that doesn't mean that they lack moisture, flavor or sweetness!

They're made to remind me of a butterscotch oatmeal cookie, but better, with chunks of apple and applesauce to keep them moist.  Butterscotch extract gives them a lovely caramel-y flavor, and stevia keeps them sweet, but without adding actual sugar.

THM E Oatmeal Cookies {Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookies}
Author: Gretchen
Recipe type: Dessert
Prep time:  60 mins
Cook time:  15 mins
Total time:  1 hour 15 mins
Serves: 15 cookies
 
A moist, delicious THM:E oatmeal cookie that amps up the flavor with caramel and apples!
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Instant Oats
  • ¾ cup THM Baking Blend
  • 1.5 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1.5 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
  • ⅛ tsp. Himalayan Salt
  • 2 tbsp. Organic, Unsalted Buttter, Melted
  • 1 lg. Egg
  • 2 Egg Whites
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 2 tbsp Organic Butterscotch Extract
  • 0.5 cup Gentle Sweet
  • 1 cup Finely Diced Red Apple
Instructions
  1. Mix together the oats, baking blend, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the melted butter, egg, egg whites, butterscotch extract and vanilla. Stir in the sweetener.
  3. Mix the wet and dry ingredients together, then add in the apple pieces.
  4. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the oven to 325.
  6. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat (parchment paper doesn't work very well with these cookies, and using baking spray would add too much fat for a THM:E meal)
  7. Use a cookie scoop to make 15 cookies on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with a fork or spatula. Bake at 325 for 13-15 minutes and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes after taking them out of the oven.

    R u suppose to add applesauce & diced apples to keep them moist (u mentioned applesauce in description but its not in recipe). I made them just like recipe said and I thought they were a little dry but good so now I am wondering if applesauce was suppose to be added. Thanks

    Like another user, when I made them they were very dry, and did not look a thing like the pictures. I re-read the recipe 5 times to make sure I’d done everything, and I had, so I re-read the blog portion, and you mentioned apple sauce….but there was none in the recipe. Did you include apple sauce in the mix when you made them? Because I made them as listed above, and they were super crumbly and not cookie-like at all when baked, more like a dry granola. Would love to know how much applesauce to add, because the cookies in your pics look amazing 🙂

    Thanks!

    I wanted to try these, as they sound delish, but realized as others did that there was no applesauce in the recipe as mentioned in the blog post. Did anyone ever figure out how much applesauce to add to the recipe?
