In a large bowl, add the dry ingredients: old-fashioned rolled oats, homemade oat flour, flaxseed meal, and baking powder.

In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients: agave, ricotta cheese, 2 egg whites, and apple sauce until combined.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients together until mixed.

Let the dough rest for 10 minutes while the oven preheats.

Using a cookie scoop, scoop and drop the soft dough onto a baking tray, pressing them slightly with your hand.

Bake the cookies for 15 minutes, or until they start to brown on the bottom and around the edges.

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes.

Transfer cookies to a cooling rack and allow to set for at least half an hour.
