Hey there, friends! Today, we’re going to whip up something special in the kitchen: Cinnamon Raisin Cookies made with spelt flour. If you’re a fan of sweet treats, you’re going to love this recipe. And the best part? It’s completely vegan and filled with good-for-you ingredients that include no refined sugars, organic everything and wholesome home ground spelt flour.

If you do have a wheat grinder, we highly suggest you grind your own wheat because of all the benefits it has to offer. Whole wheat berries are a nutritional powerhouse, rich in fiber, protein, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. When you grind your own wheat, you are getting the full nutritional benefits because it hasn’t been sitting on a shelf for months, which can cause nutrient degradation.

If you don’t have a wheat grinder and you’re in the market for one, we recommend the Nutrimill or a strong blender (which we personally use) like the Blendtec.

We love using spelt because it’s on the alkaline side, we like to stray towards more alkaline foods to keep our body’s pH in check to be proactive in keeping diseases and common health conditions away.

Today in the kitchen we’re baking up chewy, wholesome, and naturally sweet Cinnamon Raisin Spelt Cookies – the perfect guilt-free treat for health-conscious cookie lovers.

How to make Spelt Cinnamon Raisin Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup organic coconut oil
2 1/2 cups organic coconut sugar
4 tbsp organic ground flax + 12 tbsp water (approx. 3/4 cup of water)
2 tsp organic vanilla (optional)
6 cups organic spelt flour
2 tsp baking soda (aluminum free)
2-3 tsp cinnamon
1 1/2 cups to 2 cups raisins

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. In a small mixing bowl, start by preparing your flax eggs. Mix ground flax seeds and water and set aside to congeal.
3. In a large mixing bowl, mix your coconut oil and sugar until well combined.
4. Once the flax eggs have thickened, add your flax eggs in the coconut oil and sugar mixture and mix well with a whisk.
5. Add vanilla extract if you’d like.
6. In the same bowl, add your spelt flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Use a spatula and mix until just combined (no stray flour specks).
7. Add your raisins and fold until combined.
8. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and drop approximately 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie. Space them out about a 1/2 inch as they will spread.
9. Bake for 9-10 minutes. Once done the centers will be a little soft.
10. Let cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Enjoy with a cup of tea! (Or for breakfast if you’re like my kids.)
