Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 Tbsp avocado or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp fine salt
  • 1 Tbsp poppy seeds

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment or use a silicone baking mat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk applesauce, eggs, oil, maple syrup, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Add remaining ingredients then stir everything together with a large spoon or spatula. Your batter should be wet but able to scoop onto the baking sheet. If your batter seems too loose, add an additional 2 tablespoons of almond flour.
  • Scoop batter onto the prepared sheet pan using a 1/4 cup measuring cup or a large cookie scoop. Bake until lightly golden brown around the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool on the pan or transfer to a rack. Store in an airtight container on the counter for 1 day or in the refrigerator for 4 days. Wrap well and freeze for up to 1 month.
