healthy(ish) oatmeal raisin cookies
Monday, April 1, 2013
This weekend I was craving some cookies, as much for the baking as the eating. Usually when I bake it is because I enjoy the process - spending time in the kitchen, getting my hands covered in flour and listening to good tunes while I'm at it. Getting a sweet treat at the end is really just a bonus.
I had my heart set on oatmeal raisin cookies, but since I've been trying my best to eat a whole foods diet I searched out a healthy(ish) recipe. I found this one, and it worked so well! I used a combination of wholemeal spelt flour and regular flour, and rapadura instead of sugar as the recipe calls for. The recipe says to use coconut oil in its solid form, but I live in Australia where coconut oil is NEVER in solid form and it worked out just fine. All in all, a total win. I hope you get to try them out!



I always eat this cookies whenever I'm hungry! It makes me full! :D
