The Whole Grain Oatmeal Cookies with Raisins and Chocolate are delicious sweet bites that are easy to make. As often happens, I wanted to prepare something sweet as a snack but at the same time not feel too guilty, so I started by putting only 1 egg and Stevia sweetener in a bowl. Then I continued adding whole wheat flour, oatmeal flour and flakes, almond flour, milk, oil instead of butter, a bit of raisins and chocolate chips… well, I wanted something low in calories but ended up with energy cookies that are really delicious nonetheless. Try them too…
