Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, honey, and unsweetened applesauce until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms.
Gently fold in the raisins and walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough for each cookie and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingertips.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear underdone, but they will firm up as the cookies cool.
Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these chewy oatmeal raisin cookies with a cup of tea or as a midday snack!
