Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 0.5 cup Honey or maple syrup
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and the egg until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may still look slightly underdone but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
