I wanted to bake a healthy yet delicious sweet treat with oatmeal and raisins and thought this would be the perfect cookie! It is Vegan and Gluten Free and also refined sugar free made with natural sugars using pure maple syrup and coconut sugar. These are simple and easy to make and the secret ingredient is Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter!
Ingredients:
Wet:
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/2 cup Justin’s Vanilla Almond Butter
1/4 cup of Coconut Sugar
1/4 cup of maple syrup
2 Flax Eggs ( 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water - mixed together and set aside for at least 10 minutes)
1 Teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry:
2 cups gluten free rolled oats
3/4 cup gluten free oat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: coconut oil, almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs, and vanilla.
In a large bowl stir together the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and slat.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon. Folding the raisins in at the end.
Scoop 2 tbsps of mixture and place evenly on a silicone mat cookie sheet.
Bake for 12-16 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to let it set.
Enjoy!
