Ingredients

1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/3 cup applesauce
1/2 cup mashed banana
1/2 cup walnuts
1/2 cup pepitas
1/2 cup golden raisins
2 cups quick oats
optional: 1/4 cup ground flaxseed

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 °F. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine all ingredients except oats in a large bowl. Mix with a spatula until well combined. Once mixed, add oats and mix again until well combined. The dough will be thick and heavy.
Using a 1/4 measuring cup, scoop onto prepared sheets. Use the back of a spoon to slightly flatten into cookie shape. The cookies will not spread in the oven.
Bake 16-19 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely.
