Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir together until a thick dough forms.
If desired, fold in the dried cranberries or raisins for added texture and sweetness.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these low-fat, egg-free oatmeal cookies as a snack or dessert!
