HONEY-SWEETENED BREAKFAST COOKIES



Honey-Sweetened Breakfast Cookies image

When I'm looking for a breakfast treat with a healthy vibe I reach for these oatmeal breakfast cookies. They are light and cakey and packed with toasted almonds and bits of dark chocolate and dried fruit. The best part: They're made with ground oats and honey, so I can feel good about indulging in them.

Provided by Dan Langan

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup almond flour or whole-wheat flour (See Cook's Note)
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/8 teaspoons fine salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup honey (I like wildflower honey)
1/3 cup applesauce (I like unsweetened)
2 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup dried cranberries
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
1 cup toasted unsalted almonds, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • Combine 2 cups of the rolled oats, the almond flour, cinnamon, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a food processor. Process until the oats are ground, about 1 minute; a few larger bits of oats are okay. (Alternately you can grind 1 cup of the oats at a time in a blender.) Transfer to a medium bowl and add the remaining 1/2 cup of whole oats. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Beat in the honey until smooth and combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the applesauce, eggs and vanilla and mix on medium-low speed to combine. The mixture will look soupy-that's okay.
  • Add the oat mixture to the wet ingredients and blend on low to combine. Stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the raisins, cranberries, chocolate chips and almonds. Mix on low until well combined. The dough will be looser than normal cookie dough.
  • Portion the dough into 1/3-cup portions and place 6 portions on each sheet pan, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie and between the cookies and the edges of the pan. Flatten the dough portions to 1 inch in thickness. Bake one pan at a time (the second batch can sit at room temperature while the first bakes) until the cookie edges are golden brown and the centers feel set, 20 to 22 minutes.
  • Cool the cookies on the parchment. Store in a covered container for up to 4 days, or freeze in freezer bags for up to 2 weeks.

HONEY ROASTED APPLESAUCE



Honey Roasted Applesauce image

I saw this on Easy Entertaining today. Super easy, and I would have never thought of it. They looked really good!

Provided by mell_2

Categories     Sauces

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 apples, Gravenstein or 6 mcintosh apples
2 tablespoons sweet butter
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely ground sea salt, preferably gray salt
1/3 cup honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Peel the apples with a vegetable peeler, remove the core and cut into 1-inch chunks.
  • Heat a medium saute pan on medium-high heat with the butter in it. When the butter begins to brown add the lemon juice and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in the apples and salt. Saute for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges just begin to color. Add the honey and put in oven for about 15 to 20 minutes until the apples are soft and lightly caramelized.
  • Mash with a fork for a chunky version, or put in food processor for a smoother sauce. Serve warm, room temperature or cold.
  • Cook's Notes: Most applesauce recipes call for cooking the apples on the stovetop from start to finish. I prefer to start them on the stovetop and then finish them in a hot oven. The oven heat concentrates their flavors by drying and caramelizing them slightly. Although I have suggested a couple of apple varieties, you can use what good cooking apples are available in your area.

Tips:

  • Use ripe apples: This will ensure that your applesauce is flavorful and sweet.
  • Peel and core your apples before cooking them: This will help to remove any unwanted bitterness from the applesauce.
  • Cook your applesauce until it is thick and smooth: This will help to prevent the cookies from becoming too runny.
  • Use a combination of brown sugar and granulated sugar: This will give the cookies a rich, caramel-like flavor.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

Applesauce honey cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft, chewy, and full of flavor. The combination of applesauce, honey, and spices gives these cookies a unique and irresistible taste. Whether you are a seasoned baker or a beginner, you are sure to love this recipe. So next time you are looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give applesauce honey cookies a try.
