Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, wheat germ, baking powder, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Then, add the banana, applesauce, egg whites, and vanilla extract, stirring everything until it’s well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and cranberries gently so they’re evenly spread throughout the batter. Scoop out spoonfuls—about a tablespoon each—and drop them onto your prepared baking sheet. Pop the tray in the oven and bake the cookies until they turn a nice golden brown, which should take around 12 minutes. Let them cool a bit before digging in!
