- Unsalted butter
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1¼ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder

- ¼ cup store-bought prune puree or applesauce
- ¼ cup orange juice
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup raisins
- ¼ cup chopped dried apricots
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 2 baking sheets with butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Add the prune puree, orange juice, melted butter, egg whites, and vanilla. Mix with a wooden spoon until blended. Stir in the raisins and apricots.
