Ingredients
- 4 oz unsalted butter, softened (114 grams)
- ⅔ cup Swerve Granular, Lakanto Gold Erythritol Monk Fruit or Monk Fruit in the Raw (125 grams)
- ½ tablespoon molasses (10 grams)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or you can use ½ maple)
- ⅜ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅜ teaspoon salt ( reduce to ⅛ if using salted butter)
- ⅔ cup all-purpose flour (80 grams)
- 1 ¼ cups old-fashioned oats (110 grams)
- ⅓ cup raisins (use more or less to taste)
- ⅓ cup toasted pecans, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Beat together the softened butter, sweetener, molasses and cinnamon until creamy and smooth.
- Add the egg and beat until blended, then add the vanilla.
- Add the salt and baking soda directly to the batter, then stir until blended. Add flour and stir until blended. Add oats and stir until blended, then add the raisins and nuts.
- Using a medium size scoop or a heaping tablespoon, scoop balls of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet or onto a dinner plate if you'd like to chill the dough.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 12 minutes or until the cookies appear golden. You can also try baking at 375 if you want darker edges, but 350 is always a safe bet.
