Healthy Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup Maple Syrup
  • ¼ cup Coconut Oil melted
  • 1 lg egg, room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Quick Oats
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ cup raisins

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350° F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or use a silicone baking mat.
  2. Whisk the maple syrup, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract together in a large bowl until smooth. To keep the coconut oil from solidifying when you add it to the bowl making sure the other ingredients are at room temperature.
  3. In a separate medium bowl mix the instant oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and raisins together.
  4. Use a wooden spoon to mix the dry ingredients into the wet until fully combined. Using a cookie scoop or the same spoon scoop out the dough and place it on the prepared baking sheet. The dough will be crumbly and you can use your hands to shape them and misplace any dough pieces.
  5. Flatten the tops of the cookies with the back of the spoon or cookie scoop to about 3/4-inch in thickness.
  6. Bake for 10 minutes and then let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for an additional 10 minutes before moving them to a baking rack.
