01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line three baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together with an electric mixer until the mixture is nice and creamy. Then, add the eggs and mix everything well. Stir in the applesauce and vanilla until it’s all combined.

Step 2
In another bowl, whisk together the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the raisins, coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and ground flax seed.

Step 3
Scoop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto your prepared sheets. To flatten each cookie a bit, dip a fork in cold water and press down gently. Pop the trays into the oven and bake for about 11 to 13 minutes, or until the cookies turn golden and feel set. Let them cool a bit before digging in!
