These Healthy Oatmeal Cookies offer the perfect balance of sweet and wholesome, with the chewiness of oats and a touch of cinnamon spice. Made with simple, nourishing ingredients like whole wheat flour, coconut oil, and honey, they are a guilt-free treat that’s full of flavor.
- Ingredients:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup raisins or dark chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or almonds)
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the raisins (or chocolate chips) and chopped nuts.
- Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten the dough slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
