The Science of Perfect Oat Cookies
Why this recipe works:
Oats as a binder: Rolled oats provide structure and chewiness (thanks to their starch content).
Natural sweeteners: Honey/maple syrup add moisture and caramelization (browning at 320°F/160°C).
Egg-free binding: Mashed banana or applesauce replaces eggs while keeping cookies tender.
Nut & fruit distribution: Coating them in flour prevents sinking during baking.
