Preheat oven to 350°F.
Make flax egg in a small bowl by combining 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed to 6 tablespoons of water. Let sit for ~10 minutes.
Combine oats, almond flour, coconut, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
In the small bowl the flax egg is in, add applesauce, date paste, peanut butter, and vanilla.
Combine wet and dry ingredients and stir. Stir in pumpkin seeds, dried fruit, walnuts, and chia seeds.
Make ~1/4c dough balls and place on baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Press dough balls down slightly to create a cookie shape. They will not spread out much in the oven.
Bake for 25 minutes until browned on top. If you like a more crispy outside put the oven on broil briefly before taking the cookies out.
Let cookies cool before storing them in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
