Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, ground ginger, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, and maple syrup until well combined.
Add the egg, grated fresh ginger, and vanilla extract to the wet mixture. Whisk until fully incorporated.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Gently mix with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a soft cookie dough forms. If using raisins, fold them in at this stage.
Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers to help them bake evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10β12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown but the centers remain soft.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your naturally-sweetened ginger oat cookies as a delightful snack or dessert!
