Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.75 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup
• 0.25 cups Coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups Raisins (optional)
• 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. If using raisins or chopped nuts, fold them into the dough.

Step 5

Scoop tablespoons of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Use the back of a spoon to gently flatten each drop slightly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will still be soft to the touch but will firm up as they cool.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
