Einkorn Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Oatmeal cookies tend to get a bad rap. I have even participated in the disparaging of this poor cookie - preferring the more comfortable chocolate chip cookie instead.
But then one day my mother made a batch of cookies that I originally thought were chocolate chip, and upon biting into one my disappointment was immediately replaced with elation! They were the best cookies ever!
In fact, the last 3 batches of cookies I've made have all been oatmeal raisin cookies! Shock!
I regret nothing. Ha, even more son loves them more than our previously beloved chocolate chip cookies!
So, if you want the best oatmeal cookie recipe ever, you've found it! I did tweak my mom's recipe a bit to use less white sugar and replace some with maple syrup instead.
How to Make Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
If you want to cut out all the sugar fully from this oatmeal cookie recipe, then you can use all maple syrup instead.
By doing so, you will need to increase the flour amount - so, replace the sugar with an additional 1/2 cup of maple syrup (1 cup total), and up the flour to 2 1/2 cups of flour total.
You can also use coconut sugar instead of white sugar!
I have not tested sugar alternatives with this recipe, due to the fact that my family can sadly not tolerate things like monk fruit, stevia powder, or xylitol.

If I scoop dough out Can I freeze the cookie dough before baking?
Hi Barb, yes you can! I actually even freeze them in a log and cut them too! Enjoy!
Delicious! Easy recipe! I will definitely be making these again! Thank you!
Fabulous! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
Have you made these with fresh milled einkorn? What would the adjustments be?
Hey there! Yes, I have and you just reduce the flour about by 10%. So, in this case, just a few tablespoons less. That’s it!
