Ingredients
1 ½
cup
Whole Wheat Pastry Flour
½
cup
Almond Flour
⅛
teaspoon
Salt
¼
cup
Unsweetened Applesauce
¼
cup
100% Pure Maple Syrup
2
tablespoon
Grapeseed Oil
1
teaspoon
Vanilla Extract
⅓
cup
No Added Sugar Fruit Jam
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl, mix together the whole wheat pastry flour, almond flour, and salt.
In a separate bowl, mix the applesauce, maple syrup, oil, and vanilla.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, and mix thoroughly.
Measure out the dough, 1 tablespoon at a time, and roll it into a ball.
Place the balls on a lined baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. You will probably need two baking sheets, or will have to do two batches.
Now use the back of a teaspoon (or your thumb) to gently press a hole into each ball. It’s ok if they crack a little.
Fill each hole with no added sugar jam.
Bake 12-15 minutes, until the cookies are just starting to brown.
Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
