Healthy Oatmeal Cookies (Cinnamon Raisin)
These healthy oatmeal cookies are soft and chewy with a slightly golden crust and are flavored with cinnamon raisin goodness. Watch the video below to see how I make them in my kitchen!
Servings: 15 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup melted (and cooled) butter, ghee, or coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¾ cup cup raisins
Instructions
- Whisk the wet ingredients plus sugar. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Whisk the dry ingredients. Add the oats, almond flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to a separate bowl and whisk together.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients. Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir to combine.
- Fold in raisins. Add the raisins and fold them into the cookie dough.
- Scoop the cookies. Using a medium cookie scoop, dollop the cookies on a baking sheet (you may need two baking sheets). Use your fingers to flatten the dough into a cookie shape, as the cookies will not flatten much on their own while baking.
- Bake. Bake the oatmeal cookies for 9 to 10 minutes, or until they're slightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Storage tip: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 1 week. To freeze, layer with parchment in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Let thaw at room temperature before enjoying.
- This recipe makes 15 cookies (which I split on two baking sheets), though you could also make 12 larger cookies if you prefer.
- For a softer, chewier texture, you can try chilling the dough before scooping them onto the sheet pan.
