Extraordinarily Healthy Oatmeal Cookies
3/4 cup non-fat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup blueberry applesauce or any other sort of berry-applesauce without added sugar
1/2 cup honey
2 egg whites, beaten
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
3 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup dark chocolate chips (at least 60% cacao)
~ Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
~ Whip together the Greek yogurt, berry-applesauce, and honey until creamy.
~ Beat in the egg whites and vanilla
~ Stir together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt, and stir the flour mixture into the wet ingredients.
~ Stir in the rolled oats.
~ Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
~ Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto the baking sheets, and bake for around 14 minutes - until the cookies are lightly golden brown. Of course, they're oh so very good warm...
As a side note, I added a tsp of cinnamon and also added a 1/2 cup of dried cranberries and 1/2 cup of choc chips instead of the stated 3/4 cup choc chips.

My opinion of these cookies: takes away the craving but reminds me of a breakfast cookie. They're not that sweet. They did, however, pass the Hanna test.
