Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Enjoy these healthier oatmeal raisin cookies as a snack, breakfast on-the-go, or guilt-free dessert!
