Wholesome Cinnamon Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375F and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Prepare the flax “eggs” and let sit for at least 5 minutes, to thicken.

Step 2

combine the flax eggs, coconut sugar, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla together in a medium bowl and mix until evenly combined.

Step 3

add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a large bowl and whisk until well-combined. Mix the rolled outs into the batter, then form a well in the center of the bowl and pour in the wet ingredients. Mix together with a spatula, then eventually your hands, until a dough forms. Add the raisins to the bowl and fold into the batter.

Step 4

use a 3-tablespoon sized cookie scoop (or a large spoon) to form 12 balls of dough and place them on the baking sheet. Use slightly damp hands to press down each cookie to form an even circle. Bake in the middle oven rack for 8 minutes, then remove and let the tray sit for 5 minutes- the cookies will be soft at first, but will stiffen up once they set. Use a spatula to place the cookies on a baking tray and let cool completely.

Step 5

as desired; store leftovers in a container with a loose-fitting lid at room temperature for up to 5 days.
