My favorite Sesame Street character was 'Cookie Monster.' I LOVED to watch him crumble up and devour his cookies in one fell swoop! Cookies make me happy, but too many cookies leave me bloated and wishing I could hit the gym for hours on end! So, having this recipe to share with you REALLY makes me happy! (They are Guilt-free!)
Guilt-Free Oatmeal Cinnamon Raisin Cookies

1/2 Cup No Sugar Added applesauce
1/3 Cup Sucanat sugar OR Ideal Brown Sugar Blend (see below for caloric/met analysis)

2/3 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup raisins

Thank you thank you...so needed this recipe today!
ReplyDeleteYou are so welcome! I hope you enjoyed them tonight!
DeleteAhhhh these are my favorite type of cookies!! THANK YOU so much for the healthy recipe :]
ReplyDeleteSure Monica! Let me know what you think!
DeleteIs it ok to eat raw eggwhites??
ReplyDeleteThe egg whites in this recipe are cooked, but as long as they are pasteurized, they are fine. If you plan on eating them raw, I would suggest buying the pasteurized egg whites in the "milk" carton at your grocery store.
Deletemmmm these were delicious! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Amanda! Thanks for trying them out! :-)
DeleteWhat other sweetener can you use?
ReplyDeleteYou really can try any sweeteners. If you want to keep them clean, I would suggest trying sucanet, maple sugar flakes, demerara sugar, etc.
Deleteused whole grain buckwheat flour instead of pastry flour,,still delicious, and better for you, you can also use almond flour
DeleteYou guys are great! I just made these and they were delicious!!! I did get 32 cookies out of the recipe so that was a bonus :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed them!
Deletemmm, can't wait to try! I love snickerdoodle's and m&m chocolate cookies...have no idea how to ever make them clean though!
ReplyDeleteLittle B has a pretty good Snickerdoodle recipe! As for the M&Ms, I'm afraid I can't help you there!
DeleteAre these moist or crunchy? I'm looking for a cakes-type cookie! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteClaudia,
DeleteThese are actually fairly moist. They definitely don't have a crumbly texture to them. Keep in mind that the oatmeal that is "exposed" on the top does get a bit crunchy. I hope you like them!

Would white whole wheat flour be okay to use instead of the pastry flour? I'm new to baking :)
ReplyDeleteHello!
DeletePreferably, you would not want to use any "white" flours, as they are bleached from their original form (they should be brown). Try regular whole wheat flour if you can't find the whole wheat pastry flour.
Literally finished baking the recipe! I got the mom and dad approval. They love it and can't believe no butter, oil or milk was used. I'm trying to show my parents that you can eat healthy/clean without it tasting like cardboard. It's moist and almost taste like a warm granola bar. Thanks for the recipe! I'm new to this site as I found it on instagram about a week ago and love the support given on here!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to clean eating, and I'm also gluten free. What can I use instead of whole wheat flour?
ReplyDeleteDo these have to be kept in the fridge after cooking due to egg whites?
