A perfect snack for you and your children’s lunchbox! Recipe is designed to be ‘nut-free’ but you can always substitute nuts for some of the seeds, if you prefer. Nutritious can be delicious!
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.
