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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 5

Fold in the shredded coconut, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, and dark chocolate chips (if using). Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

Gently press each mound of dough down to flatten slightly, as these cookies won’t spread much during baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
