Healthy whole grain oatmeal cookies made with spelt flour. The spelt gives the cookies a sweet nutty flavor and a boost of nutrition.
I love baking with ancient grains, they tend to have a more complex flavor and are higher in nutrients than modern grains. Spelt has a delightful nutty flavor that adds an amazing characteristic to baked goods.
These oatmeal raisin spelt cookies are sweetened with coconut sugar and honey, which adds a rich complexity and earthiness to the cookies. They make a great breakfast cookie. They are whole grain, all natural, have no refined sugar and have healthy monounsaturated fats from the olive oil. Each cookie is under 120 calories and they taste incredible.
That’s a breakfast cookie in my book. If you haven’t baked with spelt yet, these cookies are a great place to start and just might get you hooked to use it more often.
Spelt is an ancient grain that was used in the biblical days. It is more nutritious than modern day wheat and it is more easily digested.
It does have gluten in it but some people find they can tolerate the gluten in spelt much better than modern wheat. The best thing about spelt is the flavor. Whole wheat spelt has a sweet, almost nutty flavor that makes anything you create taste wonderful.

Oatmeal Raisin Spelt Cookies

Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350° and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a small bowl, stir together the spelt flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. In a separate bowl stir together the olive oil, coconut sugar, honey, eggs and vanilla. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture then stir in the raisins.

I just baked these for a road trip – they are so delicious!!! I used chocolate chips instead of raisins and it came out really well.
I love baking with spelt flour, but I don’t usually find too many recipes that use it. Thank you so much for this recipe!

That is so great to hear Carli, thanks so much for the comment. The chocolate chips sound great too 🙂
