This 1-bowl healthy single serve raisin cookie is so easy and all done within 15 minutes! It is a healthier recipe using no oil and no butter and made without granulated sugar. Makes for a great last-minute and wholesome snack, breakfast or even dessert. Completely vegan, egg-free and dairy-free.
I usually make regular batches of cookies for my family, like these oat raisin protein cookies and these oat flour chocolate chip cookies, my children's favorites! But some days, you just need a little treat for yourself, right?
Such days call for single-serve cookies! I love making this single-serve oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and this large chocolate chip protein cookie. But when I want something on the healthier side, then I'll go for this no-oil healthy single-serve oatmeal raisin cookie.
It is made with almond butter and sweetened with maple syrup; this is a no-oil, no butter and no-refined-granulated-sugar recipe! We love making it using our mini toaster oven, perfect last-minute wholesome snack or even breakfast!

🗒 Ingredient notes (+ substitutions)
- Rolled oats: Old-fashioned oats (the thicker kind) are preferred to quick oats for a chewy bite, although both types of rolled oats will work.
- Flour: I used regular all-purpose flour, although I think whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour should work just as well.
- Almond butter: adds healthy fats and helps create a great texture. It essentially replaces oil or butter for a healthier twist!
- Maple syrup: adds such great flavor! You can swap for agave nectar or rice syrup, although I do not recommend using granulated sugar.
- Raisins: add more sweetness and chewiness.

💡 Baking tips
- Make sure not to overpack your tablespoon when measuring the flour (follow the spoon and level method). This will avoid ending up with a cookie that's too dense or dry.
- This recipe is perfect for using a small toaster oven, so you don't have to turn on your big oven!
- Be careful not to overbake the cookie: it is done when slightly golden brown on the edges, but the middle is still a little soft! It will keep firming up as it cools down.
- This recipe will give you a pretty big cookie, which can be enough for 2 people or only for you, if you feel like having a big snack!
❗️ Storage tips
This single-serve cookie recipe is meant to be eaten right away, but if you decide to make more than one to have some for later or if you don't eat the whole cookie all at once, then you can keep the rest in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days.
❓ FAQs
Yes! Use pumpkin seed butter or sunflower seed butter instead of almond butter and make sure to use nut-free plant-based milk, like oat milk or soy milk (not almond milk).
Yes, simply use a 1:1 GF flour instead of all-purpose flour, and use certified GF rolled oats.
