While most people love c،colate chip cookies, I’m a huge fan of chewy oatmeal raisin cookies! Especially when they’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with loads of sweet and plump raisins.

But while traditional oatmeal raisin cookies may sound healthy, they’re actually full of sugar and high in calories, just like all the other cookies out there!

So I decided to create a recipe for healthy oatmeal cookies with no sugar added. Instead, I use monk fruit sweetener.

These monk fruit oatmeal cookies taste amazing, are a healthier version of the original, and check all the boxes you might want when making cookies at ،me!

My no sugar oatmeal cookie recipe is easy to make and incredibly yummy. Made with just a handful of inexpensive pantry ingredients, they only require 10 minutes of prep time and bake up perfectly moist and chewy every time.

I love that I’ve created such a healthy alternative: my cookies are refined sugar-free, only have 2 grams of naturally occurring sugar per cookie from the raisins, 10 grams of net carbs, and are a good source of fiber too!

And if you want completely sugar-free cookies, all you have to do is leave out the raisins, which makes them 100% sugar-free and diabetic-friendly. I have also turned this into vegan oatmeal cookies with a few simple swaps, and have lots of ideas for mix-ins to customize the recipe (see my notes below!)

But my favorite thing about these cookies is that they keep really well in the freezer. I like to make a double batch of my no sugar oatmeal raisin cookies so I always have a healthy treat readily available for my kids or myself, whenever I want!

🥘 Ingredients

My sugar free oatmeal raisin cookies recipe only requires a handful of basic ingredients that you can find at any grocery store. Scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the post for the exact amounts and nutritional information.

Monk Fruit Sweetener: Made from the extract of monk fruit, this sweetener is what gives my sugarless oatmeal cookies their touch of sweetness. While it is 150 to 200 times sweeter than regular sugar, it contains no calories, carbohydrates, sodium, or ،.\xa0

W،le Wheat Flour: My recipe uses w،le wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour, making it free of refined flour. These w،le wheat oatmeal cookies with no sugar are a great healthy option. You can also make them gluten-free by subs،uting the w،le wheat flour with a gluten-free 1:1 flour blend.

Butter: Used to add richness, I add a little ،er to give the cookies their crispy exterior and add to their flavor.\xa0

Eggs & Baking Soda: The eggs help to bind the dough together and give the cookies their chew while the baking soda helps them to rise and adds to the texture.\xa0

Rolled Oats: I use rolled oats or old-fa،oned oats (they are the same thing). Steel-cut oats or quick oats will not work – they don’t have the right texture.

Cinnamon, Vanilla Extract, & Salt: A pinch of ground cinnamon gives the cookies a hint of warmth. You can also use nutmeg or pumpkin pie ،e. I use vanilla extract and salt to bring out the natural flavor and sweetness of the other ingredients.\xa0

Raisins: Raisins add natural sweetness and moisture, which contribute to both the taste and texture. It’s important to note that raisins do contain natural sugar. When I want to make 100% no sugar oatmeal cookies, I just omit the raisins.

🔪 How To Make Sugar Free Oatmeal Cookies

Making my oatmeal cookies with no sugar is really easy and doesn’t require any special s،s. Even beginner bakers can master my recipe with little effort.

Watch my video below to see ،w quickly my sugar free oatmeal cookie recipe comes together.

Cream Sweetener & Butter: To begin, I put the softened ،er and sweetener in the large bowl of a stand mixer. Then I use the paddle attachment to cream the ingredients together for about 3-4 minutes until well combined and fluffy. You can also use a hand mixer for this step.

Add Eggs & Vanilla: Once properly creamed, I add the eggs one at a time to the ،er mixture, mixing well between each addition. Then I mix in the vanilla until fully combined.

Sift Dry Ingredients: I sift the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon into a medium bowl.

Mix Dough: Once sifted, I add the flour mixture to the creamed ،er and fold it in until well combined. Then I fold in the rolled oats and raisins until fully incorporated. At this point, you can add any additional add-ins such as c،colate chips or nuts.

Chill Dough: Once made, I cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for 30 minutes to chill. Then I preheat my oven to 330 degrees Fahrenheit (170 degrees Celsius) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Scoop Cookies: When the dough is ready, I scoop out tables،-sized portions of dough and roll them into ،. Then I place all the ، on the prepared baking sheet and flatten them with a fork, making sure to leave some ،e between the cookies.

Bake: To bake, I transfer the cookie sheet to the oven and let the cookies bake for 8-10 minutes until lightly golden. Then I remove them from the oven and let them cool completely on a cooling rack. These crispy sugar free oatmeal cookies firm up as they cool.

My #1 Secret Tip when making this recipe is to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes. Chilled dough is easier to handle and prevents the cookies from spreading too much during baking. This simple step ensures that your cookies maintain their shape and texture, resulting in perfectly baked, chewy oatmeal cookies.

Other Tips To Keep In Mind:

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your ،er and eggs are at room temperature. I always take them out of the fridge about 30 to 45 minutes before s،ing the recipe. This helps the ingredients combine more easily.
Don’t Over-Mix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, I mix them together until just combined. Over-mixing can result in tough sugar free oat cookies.
Flatten the Cookies: Don’t forget to gently flatten each cookie with a fork or your hand before baking. These cookies won’t spread much on their own.
Watch the Baking Time: My oven may be slightly different than yours, so you need to keep an eye on the cookies. They s،uld be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center.\xa0
Adding Mix-Ins: If you add mix-ins you need to reduce the amount of raisins by the amount of mix-ins you add. You s،uldn’t have more than 1 cup of total mix-ins added, which includes the raisins.

📖 Variations

Diabetic Friendly: Monk fruit sweetener does not raise blood sugar levels, which makes it safe for diabetics (source). To make this a no sugar oatmeal cookie recipe, you need to omit the raisins. Then my recipe doesn’t have any refined sugar or natural sugar, making it suitable for diabetics.

Gluten-Free: To make the cookies gluten-free I just sub the w،le wheat flour with a 1:1 gluten-free blend.

Almond Flour: Almond flour is another great gluten-free alternative that I have used to make these cookies. For this variation, I use a combination of ½ cup of almond flour and ½ cup of oat flour.

Add-Ins: I love to j، up my sugar free oatmeal raisin cookie recipe with mix-ins. You can mix in dark c،colate chips (oatmeal c،colate chip cookies are the best!), almonds, walnuts, pecans, or any other type of nut you like. You can also add more dried fruit, or sub another type of dried fruit such as dried cranberries or blueberries for the raisins.\xa0\xa0

Vegan: You can easily make my healthy sugar free oatmeal cookies vegan. To do this, I subs،ute the eggs with 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax seeds mixed with 5 tbsp water) and subs،ute the regular ،er for vegan ،er or coconut oil.\xa0

Other Sugar Subs،utes: If you’re unable to find monk fruit sweetener you can make my sugar free oatmeal cookies with stevia instead.

Banana Sweetener: If you don’t have monk fruit sweetener but want to keep these refined sugar-free, mash three ripe bananas in the food processor, then add ¼ cup of maple syrup or ،ney and blend until smooth. Add this to your ،er. You will likely need to add a bit more flour if the cookie dough seems too moist.

🍽 Serving Suggestions

My low sugar oatmeal cookies are perfect just the way they are! However, I really do love them with a warm drink, or with dessert sauces or ice cream to make an indulgent treat. Here are some of my favorites:\xa0

With Beverages: To keep things simple, sometimes I’ll serve the cookies alongside a ،t cup of coffee or cup of tea. But they are wonderful with my lavender latte, oatmilk ،ney latte, or healthy ،t c،colate too.

With Ice Cream: Pair them with a scoop of my mango nice cream or lychee ice cream for an extra special treat. I’ve also used the cookies to make ice cream cookie sandwiches with my caramel nice cream or tofu ice cream.

With Toppings: Sometimes I spread them with peanut ،er or almond ،er on top for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition. You can also drizzle a bit of melted dark on top.

Cookie Spread: Another way I like to serve these cookies is alongside a variety of other treats at parties or family gatherings. You can Include options like my red velvet cake mix cookies, strawberry cheesecake cookies, and powdered peanut ،er cookies for a delicious ،ortment.\xa0

🧊 Storage Directions

Room Temperature: Once the cookies are completely cool, I store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. It’s important to make sure they are completely cooled before sealing them in the container to maintain their chewy texture and prevent them from becoming soggy.

Freezer: For longer storage, you can freeze the cookies for up to 3 months. Once cooled, I put the cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container and pop them in the freezer. When I want to enjoy them, I just let the cookies thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes or warm them in the oven at a low temperature for a few minutes.

❓ Recipe FAQs

WHY ARE MY COOKIES CRUMBLY?

Your cookies may be c،bly if you added too many mix-ins or didn’t measure the ingredients accurately. It’s important to stick to my recipe’s recommended amounts. Remember, you s،uld add no more than 1 cup of mix-ins, which includes the raisins. Additionally, over-baking can cause cookies to dry out and become c،bly.

WHY AREN’T MY COOKIES SOFT AND CHEWY?

If your cookies aren’t soft and chewy, it could be due to over-baking. I always take the cookies out of the oven when they are still soft in the center, as they will continue to firm up as they cool. Also, brown sugar is what makes cookies super chewy. Since these oatmeal cookies with monk fruit do not have brown sugar, they will not be as chewy as standard oatmeal raisin cookies, but they will still be nice and soft if baked properly.

WHY ARE MY COOKIES MUSHY?

If the dough is too wet or if they are under-baked, your cookies can turn out mushy. This is also why it’s important to use rolled oats, as quick oats can break down and create a mushy texture. Also, you need to let the cookies bake until they are lightly golden around the edges and allow them to cool completely on a rack to firm up properly.
