Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Description
This recipe mixes old-fashioned rolled oats and oat flour with baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and sea salt for a spiced base. Coconut oil, applesauce, coconut sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract create a flavored and moist batter. Raisins add chewy sweetness distributed throughout the dough.
The cookies are portioned, lightly pressed, and baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 minutes. They maintain a soft texture initially, getting firmer when completely cooled. The gentle baking preserves moisture and chewiness while allowing subtle crisping on the edges.
These cookies are suited as a snack or dessert and store well. Substitutions are possible, such as using other oils in place of coconut oil, mashed bananas instead of applesauce, or brown or regular sugar instead of coconut sugar, adjusting for personal taste or ingredient availability.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 1 ½ cup oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg optional
- ¼ teaspoon salt sea salt
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 2 Tablespoons applesauce
- 1 cup coconut sugar
- 2 egg or ⅓ cup egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or with silpat mats and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg if using. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl with the mixer set on medium speed, beat together oil, applesauce, sugar, eggs and vanilla until fluffy and smooth.
- Slowly beat in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until combined.
- Gently mix in the raisins.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, drop 1 Tablespoon worth of dough onto the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Lightly press each cookie down with a fork.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. The cookies will seem a little soft, but do not over bake or they’ll get too crisp. Remove from oven and let cool on sheet for about 5 minutes or until they start to harden up a bit. At this point you can transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Substitute coconut oil with neutral oils like olive or avocado oil, or butter.
- Mashed bananas can replace applesauce as a binder and moisture source.
- Brown sugar or regular sugar can be used instead of coconut sugar.
