No Sugar Added Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
We love oatmeal raisin cookies!
This recipe has all the flavor I crave, but without all the added sugar found in conventional oatmeal raisin cookies. Instead of sugar, I used Monk Fruit extract, which is a natural sweetener 300–400 times the sweetness of cane sugar but with no calories and no effect on blood sugar.
My version is vegan friendly and gluten free, while still being chewy and delicious. When it comes to staying healthy there is no need to sacrifice flavor when watching your sugar.
I hope you enjoy this sweet treat!
Happy baking!
