You know how frustrating it is when making a recipe and you don’t have all the ingredients? Now what if the ingredients are not your typical eggs, flour or sugar?
Last night I decided to make my “converted” Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. Converted in a sense that I took a previously unhealthy cookie and powered it up resulting in a recipe that requires some atypical ingredients. Unsweetened applesauce, toasted wheat germ and ground flaxseed.
Apparently I should have checked my cupboards better before starting this potentially doomed recipe since I was missing 3 of the ingredients.

Now to plan the replacements.
I replaced my natural applesauce with canola oil. Replaced my toasted wheat germ with whole wheat flour and replaced the 4 Tbsp ground flax with 1 egg.
Mixed it all together, threw them in the oven and hoped for the best.
They turned out delicious and remained a healthier cookie.
