Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies combine rolled oats and oat flour with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, providing a hearty texture with sweet bursts from raisins. Coconut oil and applesauce create a moist dough that yields cookies soft at the center with lightly crisp edges. The recipe balances wholesome ingredients and gentle baking to achieve a tender cookie that pairs well with coffee or afternoon tea.

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.
