Low-Carb Oatmeal Raisin Cookies uses several low carb and low sugar ingredients to make a healthier cookie treat. Low-Carb Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are my recipe of the day for National Oatmeal Month. It is National Everybody is Trying to Diet month as well, but I digress. Did you make a resolution to eat healthier?
Whereas traditional recipes usually call for a full stick (or more!) of butter, you just need 2 tablespoons of coconut or oil butter. That really helps keep your ultimate healthy oatmeal raisin cookies low calorie and low fat, and if you use coconut oil, they’re also dairy-free!
Also unlike traditional recipes that use refined granulated sugar, you’ll actually sweeten your ultimate healthy oatmeal raisin cookies with honey, agave, or pure maple syrup. These are unrefined sweeteners, and they all work equally well!
You need to get that sugar out to substantially cut carbs in oatmeal cookies, which means decreasing the total sugar called for in the recipe by 75 percent, or 2 cups, and adding an extra half-cup of raisins for added sweetness. You can also add a baking-friendly sugar substitute, such as powdered stevia.
