Ingredients

• 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 0.75 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup light brown sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well incorporated.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the unsweetened applesauce and light brown sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and the egg, beating until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium-sized bowl into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.

Step 5

Gently fold in the raisins until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart between each cookie.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.

Step 8

Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Enjoy your homemade low fat oatmeal and raisin cookies fresh, or store them in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
