Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups large flake oats
  • 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup raisins
  • ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • ½ cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ cup sesame seeds
  • ¼ cup ground flax seed

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2
Beat butter and brown sugar together using an electric mixer in a mixing bowl until creamy. Add eggs and mix well. Mix in applesauce and vanilla extract until combined.

Step 3
Mix oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a separate bowl. Stir butter mixture into flour mixture until well combined. Fold in raisins, coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and ground flax seed.

Step 4
Drop dough by rounded tablespoon onto the prepared baking pans, flattening slightly using a fork dipped in a glass of cold water.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, 11 to 13 minutes.

Cook’s Note:

You can use raw sugar instead of brown, spelt flour instead of whole wheat, and a mixture of 1/2 cup raisins with 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips instead of 1 cup raisins, if you'd like.
