These sugar-free oatmeal cookies are soft and chewy and a huge hit with the whole family. If you want to add a little variation, try stirring in 1 cup chopped apple or 1 cup chocolate chips in the final step before baking.

Ingredients:

• 1 and 1/2 cups flour
• 1 and 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup applesauce
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/2 cup canola oil

1. In a bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the applesauce and baking powder.
3. Add the apple juice, maple syrup, and canola oil to the applesauce mixture, then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Let stand for about 5 minutes.
4. Drop the dough by spoonfuls onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool.
