So Good (For You) Oatmeal Cookies! image

Due to making a deal with my sister to not have any SUGAR, I was forced to recreate some of our favorite treats, using natural alternatives! I'm happy to say...I like these better than the REAL DEAL! They are packed full of "good stuff", so you can eat them, guilt free (for the most part). In fact, my kids say that it's just too hard to only eat one! :0) They come out moist and chewy. You could, also, easily turn these into a great oatmeal chocolate chip cookie! So, have fun experimenting, and let me know what you think!

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup butter (1/2 a stick)
1 cup honey

2 teaspoons vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 cups old fashioned oats
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons cinnamon (we let the kids shake in as much as they like)
1 -1 1/2 cup raisins (put in as much as you like!)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Cream together butter and honey.

I found that these cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a container of cooked oatmeal in my fridge, so I can whip up a batch of these cookies in no time.

I was disappointed with these cookies. They didn't have much flavor and they were very bland.
