Ingredients
Instructions
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Stir in the oats.
- Combine egg whites, brown sugar, oil, milk, vanilla, and raisins in a separate bowl.
- Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture and stir until well combined.
- Drop batter by teaspoonfuls onto an oiled cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, depending on desired texture.
Tips & Substitutions
For a chewier texture, consider adding an extra 1/4 cup of oats or substituting half of the raisins with chopped nuts. If you prefer a sweeter cookie, increase the brown sugar to 1 1/4 cups. Keep in mind that using quick cooking oats helps achieve a better consistency compared to old-fashioned oats. For a fun twist, try adding a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon.
Serving Suggestions
These raisin oatmeal cookies are delightful on their own but can be paired with a glass of cold skim milk for a classic treat. Consider serving them alongside a warm bowl of oatmeal or as a sweet addition to a breakfast spread featuring dishes like Swiss Vegetable Medley(Ready To Bake In 5 Minutes). For a fun twist, try sandwiching two cookies together with a layer of yogurt or cream cheese.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze the cookies in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. To reheat, simply warm them in the oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes, allowing them to regain their softness without becoming too dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular oats instead of quick cooking oats?
While quick cooking oats provide the best texture for these cookies, you can use regular oats. Just keep in mind that the cookies may have a heartier texture and might need a few extra minutes of baking time.
Can I substitute the brown sugar with another sweetener?
Yes, you can use coconut sugar or maple syrup as alternatives to brown sugar. If using liquid sweeteners, reduce the amount of skim milk slightly to maintain the right batter consistency.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are lightly golden around the edges and still soft in the center. They will continue to firm up as they cool, so avoid overbaking for the best texture.
