Free of any added sugar, made with nothing but wholesome ingredients, these Healthy Oatmeal Cookies are so good for you, you could almost think of them as a bowl of oatmeal in a portable form... perfect for those busy mornings or for a quick snack on the go!
In a large bowl, combine all the dry ingredients and whisk until thoroughly combined; set aside.
In a separate bowl or measuring cup, combine the wet ingredients and mix until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry and mix delicately with a rubber spatula until just combined, then stir in the apple, raisins and pecans.
Using a large spring-loaded cookie scoop, scoop balls of dough onto a cookie sheet that's been lined with a silicon mat or parchment paper. If you didn't have one of those, a large spoon would also do the trick - you'll want to use about 3 tbsp of dough per cookie.
Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the tops are a beautiful light golden brown.
Take the cookies out of the oven and immediately press them down delicately with a fork (or leave them as is if you prefer dome-shaped cookies)
Transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator, for up to a week.
