# Step-by-step Instructions:

02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine melted coconut oil and sugar until smooth. Stir in unsweetened applesauce, non-dairy milk, and vanilla extract.
04 - Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir just until the cookie dough forms and no dry streaks remain.
05 - Gently fold in the blueberries, diced apple, and raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
06 - Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each dough ball.
07 - Flatten each mound of dough slightly with the back of a spoon for uniform thickness.
08 - Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden and centers appear set.
09 - Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- You get a little burst of fruit in every bite and nobody ever believes they're vegan.
- They turn out chewy and satisfying, making them just right alongside coffee or tucked into a lunchbox.
02 -
- If you crowd the cookies, they'll steam and stay too soft—give them space.
- I once used quick oats and regretted it; stick to rolled oats for the best chew.
03 -
- If your blueberries are extra juicy, give them a light toss in flour to minimize streaking.
- A slightly heaped tablespoon gives the perfect size—not too small, not overly thick.
