You may have noticed that we have been trying to share some healthier recipes. N
ot only do we get requests for healthier dishes all the time, but we also put together a weekly Healthy Menu Plan that is family-friendly and picky eater approved.
Ever since we started the 2 Month Healthy Challenge with our little family, we have tried to find ways to cut refined sugar out of our diets.
I love to use honey in baked goods and I loved how this recipe turned out.
You could hardly tell a difference. If you didn’t know there wasn’t any sugar in them, you wouldn’t be able to tell. They taste so yummy.
Honey does bake faster than sugar, so that is why the temperature is a little bit lower with these cookies than you would usually find with other recipes.
If you do prefer making this recipe using sugar, we recommend half brown sugar and half white cane sugar.
But try out the sugar free version first. I promise, it will really surprise you.
what could i replace the raisins with?
I know that raisins aren’t always a fan favorite, but I personally love them.
If you are looking for a few alternatives to switch them out, here is what we recommend:
-Pecans
-Walnuts
-Sugar Free Chocolate Chips
-Almonds
-Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
-Cranberries
-Peanut Butter Chips
-Dried apple or banana chips (or any other dried fruit)
-Orange Zest
-Plain (meaning you don’t even need to add anything and it will still taste delicious).

Honey Whole Wheat Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- 2 large eggs
- ⅞ cup honey
- 1½ Tablespoons molasses
- 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons milk
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 320 degrees F. Lightly spray cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray or use a baking liner. Set sheet aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Add in butter, oil, eggs, honey, molasses, vanilla, and milk and stir until all combined.
- Fold in oats and raisins.
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls (these cookies work best if they are a little bit bigger . . . I found that if they are smaller, they burn easily) onto prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until cookies are slightly golden. Keep in mind that honey bakes faster than sugar, which is why you cook these at a lower temperature that most cookies. Be sure to not overcook them or they will be crispy (unless you like cookies that way!).

Do I melt the coconut oil before or after measuring?
Measure out the 1/2 cup of coconut oil, then melt it.
What if I don’t have molasses. Can I still bake it without it ?
You could leave it out, but the taste wouldn’t be as yummy. Here is a link for molasses substitutes: https://www.thespruceeats.com/molasses-substitute-1388891
can these be baked as a bar cookie (9×13 pan)?
They should work in a 9×13 pan. Just watch them closely to see when they are done.
This is a great recipe. I made them breakfast cookies. I added chocolate chips, collagen protein, and super greens to them. I cut back a little on the honey due to sweetened chocolate chips. My “picky eater” 3 year old grandson eats them. Thank you.
