These cookies are not classic oatmeal cookies. If you don’t want to add any mix-ins but you want sweeter cookies, you can also add in about 1 tbsp of maple syrup to the cookie dough (I did that for some of the cookies in the photos). I usually use dried cranberries or raisins but I used some chopped chocolate for the ones in the photos. To add sweetness to the cookies, you’ll want to include a sweet mix-in like dried fruit or chocolate (use a refined sugar free chocolate to keep the cookies free of refined sugar). Of course, if you are looking for a low sugar recipe or don’t mind that the cookies are only a little bit sweet, you can make them without any mix-ins. Yes, unsweetened applesauce is still sweet but it’s not really sweet enough once you add in the oats. The cookies are barely sweet on their own because the recipe uses unsweetened applesauce. You will want to use quick oats rather than steel cut oats or rolled oats for this recipe because quick oats cook faster and don’t require as much liquid to soften.
