For the first time, I’ve taken on a project that is not all about healthy eating! I hope you enjoy the post and the treats!
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies – Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
There are many types of cookies, but if you’re looking for a good source of fiber, try the oatmeal raisin cookie. These cookies are made with an oatmeal base which can help fill you up. These cookies are also packed with fiber which will keep you fuller longer. Fiber will also help with preventing digestive problems.
Whether you like yours crispy, chewy, or soft, I believe we can all agree on one thing:
Delicious oatmeal raisin cookies!
This recipe produces a soft cookie that pairs well with the crunchy walnuts and chewy raisins.
I used whole wheat flour, but all-purpose flour may be used instead.
If you’re feeling brave and inventive, NPR.org has a wonderful resource that compares the effects of using brown sugar against granulated sugar or baking soda versus baking powder, for example.
I haven’t put the theory to the test, but it seems like something I should do!

These simple oatmeal raisin cookies have a wonderful healthy taste thanks to the whole wheat flour. Make a big batch and freeze the rest for a healthy snack later!
Ingredients
- 2-and-a-quarter cups whole wheat flour (all purpose flour can be substituted)
- 2 c. sugar (dark brown) (firmly packed)
- 1 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
- 1 tsp vanilla bean extract
- a half teaspoon of salt
- 1 cinnamon sachet
- 1 cup softened butter (2 sticks)
- 2 eggs
- Oatmeal, 2 cups (quick cooking)
- 1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 1 pound of raisins
Note
In this recipe, I used whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour and was quite pleased with the results. You may also use a mix of chocolate chips and raisins instead of raisins. If you want these cookies to stay soft and tasty, don’t overcook them.
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix flour, sugar, soda, salt, cinnamon, butter, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Combine the oats, nuts, and raisins in a mixing bowl. Using a (generous) tablespoon, drop dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet. 10-12 minutes in the oven Allow to cool slightly before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. |
