Preheating the Electric Oven

Preheat the electric oven to 350° F temperature. Take a baking tray, put a Silpat on it, and spray it down with cooking spray so the cookies don’t stick to the tray. 

Step #2

Preparing the Dry Ingredients

Take rolled oats, whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon powder, baking soda, and kosher salt in the mentioned quantity in a large bowl and gently mix with a fork. 

Step #3

Preparing the Chia Egg

Take one tablespoon of ground chia seeds and mix it with three tablespoons of normal water in a cup or small bowl, gently mix with a fork, and keep that for around 10 minutes. It will take a sticky form.

Oatmeal raisin cookies contain more fiber. Fiber will help you reduce the levels of blood cholesterol and also reduce heart disease risks. Again, fiber is also good for exact bowel function.
