Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.75 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
• 0.5 cups Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 Egg
• 1 medium Apple (peeled, cored, and finely diced)
• 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the diced apple, raisins, and walnuts (if using) until evenly incorporated into the dough.

Step 6

Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Gently flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon or your fingers to help them cook evenly.

Step 8

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and slightly firm to the touch.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
