Apple, Raisin, Oatmeal Cookies
It has been raining outside for few days. We had a Tropical Storm, but now it is over. The sun is shining again in the sunshine state. Yesterday, while Tropical Storm Debby was bringing us heavy rain and gusty winds, baking some cookies seems like a good idea.
Nothing better than a cup of fresh coffee and a delicious cookie to start the day.
The use of unsweetened applesauce creates a nice texture to these cookies without adding more sweet.
Oatmeal, coconut oil and raisin are also the key ingredients for these apple cookies.
Ingredients
- ½ cup quinoa flour
- ½ cup brown rice flour
- 2 cups rolled oats ( gluten-free)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil
- ½ cup cane sugar
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Granny smith apple, cored, peeled and diced finely
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine flours, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the egg with coconut oil, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.
- Fold in the diced apple and raisins.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheets. Place in the oven and bake for 14 minutes or until the cookies are light golden in color.
- Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.

this looks amazing…I love oatmeal cookies, but I never used quinoa flour before, this will be a great way to start at my home
thanx
I love quinoa flour. Thank you!
I’ve never made anything with quinoa flour and after reading your recipe, I really want to give it a try. The photo is beautiful.
You will like it, if you like quinoa. Thanks!
These cookies look so good. I like that you used brown rice and quinoa flour.
I am addicted to quinoa flour. Thanks
Making cakes is something very interesting. Love to try something new.
Oh My – these cookies are just too tempting! Can I order about 4 dozen?
Your picture tells me that these are the perfect oatmeal raisin cookies and the addition of the apples should make them so moist and chewy! Perfect!
I wish I can send you 4 dozen. Thank you for stopping by!
I made these last night, but beat the batter too much. I ended up with cookies that did not spread at all (little round balls) and a texture more like I’d used shredded coconut. Oops! The taste, however, was exquisite! Thank you, Citronlimette! Yum! Now if I can figure out the calorie count and nutritional information, I’ll be all set.
Oh,Oh, I am so sorry Mary. Hope the recipe works for you the next time! Thank you so much for your comment. Marie
Next time, I flattened the cookies with the bottom of a glass, dipped in coarse sugar. Yours are MUCH prettier, but my taste testers LOVED the flavor and texture, so win-win all the way around. This is so far the easiest (non-coconut-flour) gluten-free recipe yet! Thank you SO much! Best regards – Mary
I will make these today but will have to sub some ingredients…..no biggie! don’t have the other flours and have no raisins so they will be apple oatmeal cookies. Should be yummy! thanks
You are welcome! let me know the result! Marie
