Recipe - Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies



These cookies are gluten-free, high fiber, and high protein! But don't let that scare you, they are still delicious! And they make a great breakfast snack, too. Bon Appetit!

Makes 36 cookies


1 1/2 cups oat flour

1/2 cup nut flour        (I grind together unsalted peanuts, pistachios and raw almonds together for this)

1/2 cup ground flaxseeds      (whole is fine too, if you like a bit more crunch)

1 tsp baking soda

2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 egg whites

2/3 cup applesauce

1 tsp vanilla

1 1/2 cups old fashioned oatmeal

2/3 cup raisins



Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix brown sugar and vanilla.  Add the egg whites and applesauce.  Stir in baking soda and spices. Mix in the flours and flaxseeds then add in oatmeal and raisins.

Drop spoonfuls onto baking sheets covered in parchment paper ( or use cooking spray, if you prefer).
Flatten them with a fork.

Bake for 9-11 minutes.
