Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
- 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds)
- 0.25 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries (or raisins)
- 0.25 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop about 2-tablespoon portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently press each mound of dough down to flatten slightly, as these cookies won’t spread much during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
