Wholesome Oak Snackles

Wholesome Oak Snackles

I'm heading back to school to start a new year in a week and this will be a great snack to pack in my lunchbox for that midmorning craving. I found this little snackle on the Forks Over Knives website, and they claim "it's like having your oatmeal without the bowl".

  • In a large bowl combine oats, oat flour, raisins, coconut, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt stirring to mix well.
  • Add the applesauce, maple syrup and chocolate chips. Stir until well incorporated.
  • Use a cookie scoop (or take spoonfuls, about 1 - 1 1/2 tablespoons in size) to transfer mounds of the batter to the cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 14 minutes, although my snackles were done in 9-10 min.
