Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
For all my oatmeal raisin cookie lovers, here is a healthier cookie with all the oatmeal raisin taste you love, but without the refined sugar! These healthy oatmeal raisin cookies didn’t even last two days in my home, and I bet they won’t last long in yours either!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup coconut sugar
2 large eggs
1 tbsp maple syrup (or honey)
1 tbsp vanilla
1 .5 cups almond flour (or whole wheat flour, oat flour, or coconut flour)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups oats
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chia seeds
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
In a large bowl, combine softened butter and coconut sugar. Mix until combined and smooth.
Add the eggs to the large bowl and whisk together. Once the mixture is well combined, add the maple syrup and vanilla and mix again. Set the mixture aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
Add in the oats, raisins, and chia seeds and fold together until the mixture forms a very sticky ball of dough
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop out 1 tbsp of dough and roll into a ball with your hands. Flatten the ball with your fingers or a fork to create a cookie shape and place on the parchment lined baking sheet
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies turn a light brown.
Remove from the oven and let cookies cool before enjoying.
Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
You certainly don’t need to only bake “healthier” versions of your favorite cookies, but sometimes it feels extra good to eat something delicious while also taking care of your body!
