These super healthy oatmeal raisin cookies are made with oats, flax seeds, raisins and even sneaks in a vegetable that you won’t notice – carrots! Perfect for school snacks and even breakfast!

I consider oatmeal raisin cookies to already be one of the healthier cookie options. There’s already oats and raisins so instantly healthier right?

In this recipe, we boost the nutrition up even more with flax seeds and carrots. Why carrots? These days kids (and adults too) are spending more time on electronic devices and we really need to take care of our eyes. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene which the body changes to vitamin A which is very important for eye health.

Plus, there’s no oil or butter in this recipe and just 2 tablespoons of agave syrup or your sweetener of choice.

With these health benefits, you and your family will feel so good eating them:

Oats

Known to lower blood sugar levels, lower cholesterol and promote a healthy gut
Full of antioxidants and fiber which makes you fuller longer

Flax seeds

Loaded with omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, protein and potassium

Carrots

Rich is beta-carotene, super for the eyes

Give these super healthy oatmeal raisin cookies a try!

Best part is, no one will know they just ate oats and carrots!
