Apple Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

These super healthy oatmeal cookies will satisfy your cookie cravings while being guilt-free. These cookies are soft, chewy and slightly sweet, only using natural ingredients. These oatmeal cookies are sugar & gluten free but pack a wonderful flavour and are great for adults and kids alike.

Step 1:

Preheat your oven to 375 Degrees F.

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2:

Prepare all of the ingredients.

2 cups of rolled oats. I used sprouted rolled oats.

1 teaspoon of baking powder to help the cookies rise and get fluffy.

A pinch of ground nutmeg to add a touch of warmth.

1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to add a spicy, sweet smell.

2 teaspoons of chia seeds. Chia seeds pack a huge amount of nutritional value to everything you add them too.

1/2 cup sultana raisins. I like to use sultana raisins for this recipe. They tend to be slightly larger and juicier than their dark brown counter-parts.

2 super ripe, medium sized bananas. Brown bananas are the easiest to digest and can be kept in the freezer until you’re ready to use them in baked goods. I always have a few lying around for smoothies and such.

1 medium sized apple. I used a Koru apple here, it adds lots of flavour, moisture and natural sweetness.

1 large, fresh egg. You can sub in a vegan alternative (flax-egg) but it will alter the bake results slightly.

Step 3:

Peel and grate the apple.

Step 4:

Mash the bananas with a fork until completely pureed.

Step 5:

Combine the oats, spices, chia seeds & baking powder in a small bowl.

Step 6:

Stir together the bananas, egg & apples until thoroughly mixed.

Step 7:

Mix the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and the sultana raisins. Mix well until very well mixed.

Step 8:

Scoop the cookies, 8 per tray, using a 2 oz cookie scoop or two tablespoons per cookie. Flatten them slightly.

Step 9:

Bake for 15 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly before snacking away!

Store cookies for up to a week in an airtight container.

Serve!

Serve these warm or cooled for breakfast or as a nutritious midday snack.

For babies, cut them according to baby-led weaning standards and watch your little one go to town!
