    Frequently asked questions

    What apple is best for cookies?

    Since we won't use any added sugar in these quick apple cookies it would be best to use an apple with a sweet flavor like Red Delicious, Gala, Fuji, Golden Delicious, or Honeycrisp apple.

    What's the secret to soft cookies?

    The simple answer is the amount of moisture. The higher the moisture, the more tender and chewy cookies will be. In addition, baking time is very important, too. Don't overbake them. 20 minutes are enough to bake until they are just set.

    Equipment

    • Baking sheet
    • Medium-sized bowl
    • Grater
    • Fork
    • Cutting board
    • Measuring cups

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 bananas ripe, mashed
    • 1 apple, Red Delicious, or any sweet apple grated, approximately ¾ cup
    • 1 ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats
    • â…“ cup raw pumpkin seeds
    • 1 flax egg 1 tablespoon flax meal + 3 tablespoon water
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

    Instructions
     

    • First, prepare your flax egg (mix 1 tablespoon of flax meal with 3 tablespoons water). In the meantime, preheat the oven to 356°F / 180°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, mash the bananas. Add the flax egg and cinnamon. Mix it well.

    • Now, your soft breakfast cookies are ready to be devoured. Enjoy them with a cup of tea, coffee, or a glass of non-dairy milk. You could spread them with creamy peanut butter (awesome combo!). Keep them for 2-3 days, refrigerated, in a sealed container. Store cooled cookies in a freezer-friendly container in the freezer for up to a month.

    Notes

    • For this recipe, I used Red Delicious. Because the sweetness for these apple cookies will come only from bananas and apple, it's important to use sweet or semi-sweet apple like Gala, Fuji, Golden Delicious, Honeycrisp apple.
    • Peeling of the apples is totally optional. I didn't peel it. Unpeeled apple will add texture and color to your cookies. And more fibre as well!
    • Instead of pumpkin seeds, you can add sunflower seeds, chopped walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts.
