I got this recipe a while back. It goes great with a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of Pinot Noir at night. I'd recommend putting some Nutella on it. It's excellent. Enjoy!

2/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg
1/2 cup applesauce

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
(I also added 1/2 cup of shaved coconut and 1/2 cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips)


DIRECTIONS

In bowl beat butter till creamy. Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and baking soda. Stir until combined. Mix in applesauce and egg. Add flour, a little at a time. Stir in oats.
