Flourless Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I always love baking or cooking new things when we have people over. This past weekend I decided on making cookies with some ingredients I had on hand. I have made flourless peanut butter cookies and flourless peanut butter ginger cookies (I will post the recipe in a few weeks) before that I love but I wanted to do something new. Oatmeal raisin cookies are one of my favorite cookies and I had oats and raisins on hand so I went with that. I used oats and almond butter in place of the flour and the coconut sugar gives them a caramel flavor. They are so soft and chewy, I love them! 

​Servings: 24 cookies
Prep/Total Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 cup almond butter
• 3/4 cup coconut sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup raisins
• Pinch of salt

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, baking soda and cinnamon, stir and set aside.
3. In a bowl with a stand mixer, beat the almond butter, coconut sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth. Add in the dry mixture and mix until well combined and add in the raisins.
4. Take a large spoonful and drop onto prepared baking sheets. Bake each batch for about 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle salt on top as soon as you pull them out of the oven. Cool for 5 minutes on the pan and then remove to finish cooling on a wire rack.
