Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Spice Cookies Recipe

We love cookies! And, really, who doesn’t love a warm cookie fresh from the oven?

Oats are one of the best ingredients for making cookies – they bring a wonderful hearty flavour and a bit of a crunch (plus some soothing, healthy fiber). Adding lots of spices to cookies supports your health, while adding a burst of flavour at the same time.

Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar, especially when you eat sweet treats. Ginger supports circulation and boosts your immune system.

Using coconut sugar as a sweetener is also a great choice, because it has a low glycemic index and doesn’t spike your blood sugar.

When you feed your body loving ingredients, you are giving yourself a whole big dose of self love. With all of these health benefits, you really can’t say no to such yummy cookies!
