These Healthy Oatmeal Cookies are the perfect combination of wholesome ingredients and delicious flavors. Packed with oats, raisins, and a touch of cinnamon, these cookies are not only satisfying but also nutritious.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup raisins or dried fruit (optional)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or almonds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. If using, fold in the raisins and nuts.
  5. Scoop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set.
  7. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
