Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce and 1/4 cup of honey or maple syrup. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Add 1/2 cup of raisins to the dough and fold them in gently until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Press each cookie down slightly with the back of the spoon to flatten them a bit, as they will not spread much during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cookies are set in the center.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your homemade sugar-free oatmeal raisin cookies as a healthy snack or dessert!
Tips
- Choose Your Sweetener Wisely: While honey and maple syrup are great natural sweeteners, you can also experiment with sugar-free alternatives like stevia or monk fruit sweetener for an even lower-calorie option.
- Mix It Up: Feel free to add in other mix-ins like chopped nuts, dark chocolate chips, or coconut flakes to customize your cookies and add extra texture.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining your wet and dry ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tougher cookies, so be gentle!
- Watch the Bake Time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center when you take them out.
- Storage Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer freshness, you can freeze them for up to three months—just thaw them before enjoying!
