Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring until a dough begins to form.
Fold in the raisins and chopped walnuts (if using), ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these healthier oatmeal raisin cookies as a snack, breakfast on-the-go, or guilt-free dessert!
