You guys, I’m having homework insomnia right now. Is that even a thing? I’m supposed to be doing stress relieving exercises, but I have zero motivation to do them.
In fact, the stress relieving exercises are stressing me out! For two weeks, I have to track events that stress me out then do relaxation exercises and document my experience.
GAH! This is so not my thing. I mean realistically who is gonna have an argument with their boss then say to them “I feel a stressful event coming on will you please excuse me while I lie down to do my breathing exercises?”
So many things in the world are thought out way more than they need to be and this is an example of one of them. Just keeping it real people!
Don’t get me wrong, I love my nutrition classes but the stress course is well, stressful. The professor has two discussion questions for the class to complete each week with the purpose of interacting with each other on the content.
However they’re more like 2,000 word essays instead of what they should be, a discussion. Whew I feel better now that I got that off my chest!
In order to alleviate the anxiety I was feeling from these goofy stress assignments, I headed to the kitchen to do what I do best. bake! And in keeping with the sweets theme this week, I made you a batch of delicious Raspberry Oatmeal Cookies. Now these aren’t just any cookies. They’re soft and chewy and healthy!
The best part? They’re clean! These Raspberry Oatmeal Cookies are lightly sweetened with honey, cinnamon and studded with the star of the show… raspberries. Yes peeps you heard me right. Sweetened with nature’s goodness! And you want to know what else?
They’re only 81 calories. I Uh-huh, Uh-huh dance party! These tasty Raspberry Oatmeal Cookies are great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack or when you need a little stress relief {or an excuse to procrastinate}. Maybe baking should be a stress relieving exercise?

Healthy Raspberry Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Gluten Free oat flour, or regular oat flour
- 1 cup Gluten Free Rolled Oats, or regular rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg white
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon almond extract, or vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/8 cup raspberries
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325 F and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or a slip mat.
- Using a standing mixer or hand mixer, combine egg white, honey, salt, cinnamon and almond extract and mix fully. To the mixture add oats, flour and baking powder. Then add coconut oil stirring to incorporate.
- Add the raspberries to the batter, breaking them up a bit. Divide the batter by 10 and scoop onto your prepared baking sheet to make 10 cookies.
- Bake 13-15 minutes until a bit brown. Remove from the oven and cool 5 minutes on the baking sheet before removing and cooling fully on a wire rack and devouring!
Notes
- I add the coconut oil to the flour batter instead of the liquid mixture. This prevents it from hardening and getting clumps of coconut oil in the cookies.
- Measure the flour properly when making these muffins or you will end up with 2 times the amount of dry ingredients than you need.
- Store cookies in the refrigerator up to 5 days or in the freezer up to 60 days.

Made these and they came out amazing! I also indulged and added some melted dark chocolate drizzle on top 😉
What a treat!
Do the raspberries need to be frozen? And do I need to chop them up a little but or do they shrink in the baking process ?
The raspberries do not need to be frozen. You don’t need to chop them. As you fold them into the batter, they will naturally disintegrate into the batter.
Hi Megan!
Thanks for the recipe. These cookies look great! Seeing a few inconsistencies in the recipe though – at the top it says to bake for 5 minutes, but then in your instructions it says 10-15. Also, the ingredients list says to get almond extract, but then the instructions mention vanilla.
Please help! lol
Thanks again,
Carly
Hi Carly! Updates have been applied to the recipe card. Thanks for catching this!
I do not have whole wheat flour right now, but I really want to bake these. Would regular flour work as a substitute?
I would imagine you could. I never use regular flour so I can’t guarantee it will work with the same measurements.
Baking is the BEST way to relieve stress! ESPECIALLY when it ends in cookies…with raspberry. And oatmeal.
Seriously girlfriend, these sound like the most perfect cookies ever!
Thanks girl! I’m all about the oatmeal and cookies. Haha!
While I have no clue what exactly stress management classes recommend I know for me the combination of fresh air, moving and cooking/baking helps. Today that meant heading fo a walk despite the cold temperatures and then choppping and simmering vegetables for a delicious home-cooked meal.
These cookies look like a great win-win in the stress relieve department.
That sounds like the perfect day! I think we all need more them.
I am stressed a lot for sure & these cookies would help!!! 🙂
Baking and working out will help!
Mmm those look delicious – can’t wait to try them!
Enjoy!
Hah hah! Isn’t that ironic?! Forget about the breathing exercises…baking totally counts as a stress-reliever in my book (unless there are toddlers involved…then it’s just STRESSFUL)! Have a great weekend, Megan!
I thought about writing that in my paper, but opted not to. 🙂
Your classes sound crazy fun actually. I would love to learn some stress coping techniques. Lately I’ve been a pile of nerves. These cookies would help. Usually my zen place is in the kitchen or reading cookbooks/blogs. You my dear are my stress relief!!
It will get better! Have faith. 🙂
