Ingredients
- ½ cup melted coconut oil or other mild-flavored oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed
- ½ teaspoon baking soda

- ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, eggs, vanilla extract, applesauce and honey until well combined. Set aside
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the flour, oats, flaxseed, baking soda, cinnamon and raisins until well combined. Add in the wet ingredients and stir until completely mixed. The batter will be wet. Allow the batter to rest for 5 minutes (this helps thicken it a bit).

- Bake in preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then remove to cooling rack to cool completely.
