Satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt with these Healthy Oatmeal Raisin Spice Cookies—each one just 1 Weight Watchers point! Packed with wholesome ingredients like fiber-rich quick oats, tender whole wheat flour, and naturally sweet raisins, these cookies are a delightful combination of chewy and spiced perfection. Unsweetened applesauce replaces traditional butter or oil, keeping them moist and low in fat, while warm notes of cinnamon and nutmeg enhance the comforting flavor profile. Easy to make in under 25 minutes, these cookies are perfect for a quick, healthy snack or a light dessert. Best of all, they’re freezer-friendly, so you can enjoy a batch whenever cravings strike!
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the unsweetened applesauce, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the quick oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Add the wet ingredients (applesauce mixture) to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the raisins until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Drop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will be soft initially but will firm up as they cool.
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.
Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
