Ingredients
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coconut oil or vegan butter, melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil (or vegan butter), brown sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. Fold in the raisins.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For variation, substitute raisins with dried cranberries, dates, or dairy-free chocolate chips.
Add a handful of chopped nuts or a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor.
