Variations of these healthy oatmeal raisin cookies
I have made a version of these oat cookies with dates for the baby cause they are a power source of fortifying iron and good for digestion.
You can substitute raisins with chocolate chips, almond flakes,pecans or pistachios.I used soft dates also because my baby doesn't have teeth yet.(Okay he has 2 teeth.)
Instead of honey or maple syrup, you can use liquid jaggery also.To make liquid jaggery boil ¼ cup jaggery in ¼ cup water till it dissolves and strain it before using in the recipe.
Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Quick Oats
The oats that you use here, need to be the instant or quick oats.
Texture wise these cookies are soft and chewy.If that's not your deal then you can bake these cookies into flat disks instead of domes(As in picture) to get a crisp cookies.
They store well in airtight container for upto 4-5 days.
