Ingredients
Scale
Dairy & Oils
- ½ cup melted (and cooled) butter, ghee, or coconut oil
Sweeteners & Extracts
- ½ cup coconut sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Eggs
- 1 large egg
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free rolled oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Add-ins
- ¾ cup raisins
Instructions
- Whisk the wet ingredients plus sugar: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter (or ghee/coconut oil), coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and combined.
- Whisk the dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, almond flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and kosher salt. Whisk them together evenly.
- Combine the wet and dry ingredients: Pour the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients bowl. Stir well to form a uniform cookie dough.
- Fold in raisins: Gently fold the raisins into the dough, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Scoop the cookies: Using a medium cookie scoop, dollop the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Flatten each scoop slightly with your fingers, as the cookies will not spread much during baking.
- Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 9 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
