Healthy And Scrumptious Low Fat Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

These healthy low fat oatmeal cookies are oil free, and can really be made easily and almost fat free by not adding the coconut.

When we arrived in our room in Kotor, Montenegro – an apartment that we shared with another – a pack of unrefined cane sugar was waiting for me in the cupboard. I took it as a sign that I had to make a few cookies.

With an available oven, the rolled oats and whole wheat flour, everything was working for me. I also added some raisins, cinnamon and shredded coconut, but you could also add any combination of goodies you prefer.

I used a method that I use for cookies and muffins, which does not need any oil, since I still don’t want to drag any with me while traveling. It’s really a good reason to stick to using whole food methods, which I much prefer.

Remember that with this technique, since different kinds of rolled oats absorb different amounts of water, you might wind up with a batter mixture that is either too wet or too dry. I’ve added the measurements that work for me, but you can do it slowly and just adjust as you go.

These low fat oatmeal cookies make an excellent treat to bring with you when you head out sightseeing, hiking, or just curling up at home with a good book.

Prep time: 10 min. Cooking time: 15-20 min. Time from start to eating: 25-30 min. Makes 12 small cookies.

Low Fat Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup hot water

1 tsp cinnamon/nutmeg/allspice mix

1 cup flour

1/4 cup raisins

1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

4 Tbsp unrefined sugar

pinch of salt

Low Fat Oatmeal Cookies Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, mix together 1 cup of the rolled oats with the water. Add the cinnamon mix and then stir to combine. Leave this for a few minutes for the oats to absorb the water.

2. Next, add in the rest of the ingredients and then stir them in gently. Add more oats or water as necessary to obtain the cookie batter consistency.

3. Spoon cookie mixture out onto and lined with parchment in a baking tray, and make in the oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the outsides start to brown.

4. Pull the cookie out and let them cool for a minute, and then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool totally, if you can leave them that long.
