Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and mashed ripe banana until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried berries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, placing them about 2 inches apart as the cookies will spread slightly.
Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon to achieve a more cookie-like shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown but the centers are still soft.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your sugar-free chewy oat cookies as a healthy snack or treat!
