Raisin and Cinnamon Cookies

Cinnamon is one of my favourite spices. It has a lovely warm sweetness and also helps to regulate blood sugar levels so is great for sweet cravings. Whilst I make these cookies throughout the year, the smell of the cinnamon as they bake, always reminds of Christmas. I love serving these up to the girls with a glass of warm organic milk and for me a warming drink of whatever I'm feeling.

Ingredients

120g rolled oats
120g spelt flour or gluten free flour
120g coconut sugar
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
·½ tsp salt
150g coconut oil, melted
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
100g of raisins

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mix everything together to form a dough, then stir through the raisins.
Grab about a tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball, then place the ball on the paper-lined baking tray.
Repeat with the rest of the mixture, placing the balls at least 10cm apart.
Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven until they have turned into golden-coloured cookies.
Leave to cool on a wire rack then dig in.
