Time 40m

Yield 30 cookies, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon (or more as desired)
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup oil (corn, grapeseed or olive)
1 tablespoon molasses
1 egg (beat with 1 Tbsp Water)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup walnuts

Steps:

  • 1.In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
  • 2.In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey won't stick).
  • 3.Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white.
  • 4.COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.
  • 5.Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
  • 6.Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.
  • 7.Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. The cookies freeze very well and make a great snack! Enjoy.

HEALTHY CHEWY OATMEAL, RAISIN, PECAN COOKIES



Healthy Chewy Oatmeal, Raisin, Pecan Cookies image

This is a healthy low-calorie version of my original recipe. This recipe uses lower calorie ingredients such as Splenda Sweetener, Splenda Brown Sugar, and wheat flower. These cookies are plump, chewy, and full of crunchy pecans and raisins. The honey really sets if off with a unique taste. Once you make these cookies with the honey in them, you will never want to make oatmeal cookies without honey ever again! And it can be easily altered to your liking by changing the add-ins from raisins & pecans, to just about anything you want (walnuts, dates, dried cranberries, etc).

HEALTHY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES (A.K.A. MEAG'S PERFECT COOKIE)



Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (A.k.a. Meag's Perfect Cookie) image

I created this recipe with my daughter after a conversation with my sister, Meagan, about her idea of a perfect oatmeal cookie. This is a cookie you can feel good about giving your kids. They are very moist and fluffy and taste even better the days after being baked. These are very adaptable so feel free to substitute chocolate chips and a bit of lemon zest for the raisins or add some cranberries and sliced almonds for some added fun!

HEALTHY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

This cookies are very tasty! They DO NOT taste like a regular oatmeal raisin cookie so please do not expect that. I wanted a sugar free, fat free, gluten free treat and that is want they are. The bananas add enough sweetness and moisture to satisfy a craving.

Time 25m

Yield 24 Cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 bananas, ripe
2 cups oatmeal, Whole Grain
1/2 cup applesauce, unsweetened
1 cup raisins
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a cookie sheet with foil or wax paper and spray with non-stick cooking spray, I use Pam.
  • Place peeled bananas in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until smooth.
  • Add remaining ingredients and stir until incorporated.
  • Drop on prepared cookie sheet using a tablespoon. Spread out slighty but make sure they are not too thin.
  • Place in preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the tops begin to brown slighty.
  • Remove cookies from the cookie sheet and place then on a wire rack to cool.
  • When completely cooled place in an airtight container and store in a cool dry area.

`

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. They'll give your cookies a chewier texture than quick-cooking or instant oats.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before eating. This will help them to firm up and prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal raisin cookies are a classic treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them chewy or crispy, with lots of raisins or just a few, there's an oatmeal raisin cookie recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give one of these recipes a try. `
