Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, salt, and shredded coconut. Stir to mix evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully combined.
Gently fold in the grated apple, chopped walnuts or pecans, and raisins (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.
Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, drop 2-tablespoon portions of the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Flatten each mound of batter slightly with the back of the spoon to form a cookie shape.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the cookies feel set.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet 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 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy them as a wholesome breakfast or snack!
