Ingredients

• 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Light brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg white
• 0.75 cup Raisins
• 0 Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or lightly spray them with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate larger bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, and egg white until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients from the medium bowl into the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the raisins carefully to ensure they are distributed evenly throughout the dough.

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or damp fingers, as the dough will not spread much during baking.

Step 8

Place one baking sheet at a time in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.

Step 9

Remove the 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 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Enjoy your low-fat oatmeal raisin cookies guilt-free!
