    This delicious oatmeal raisin cookie is a terrific low sugar treat - Oats, buckwheat flour, olive oil, and raisins combine to make this sizable snack!

    I recently had a food allergy test. I'd been having pretty consistent issues with mucus production, causing me to be blowing my nose or coughing up phlegm on a daily basis.

    With my history, I knew some allergy was at the bottom of it!

    I tried to figure things out on my own, eliminating certain foods and playing with my diet in different ways, but nothing really changed.

    One of my suspects had been chocolate, perish the thought!

    I rarely go a day without cocoa, often having this smoothie for breakfast or this cookie for a treat.

    Its frequency in my diet was definitely reason for suspicion.

    About four years ago, I did an allergy test that really helped me, so about two weeks back, I went in to see my doctor for a repeat.

    The test covers about 200 different foods, and it included my prime suspect.

    I got my results a few days ago and found myself shocked at the results.

    First and foremost, I didn't show an allergy to chocolate (hip, hip, hooray!).

    I did, however, come back highly allergic to banana (which I've known), pineapple, green beans, kidney beans, navy beans, amaranth, and lemons, of all things!

    Ironically, I've been slurping down the lemons like there's no tomorrow, as I've had two free and plentiful sources of the sour fruit.

    Though I feel safe to add chocolate back, during my elimination phase, I created this delicious cookie with raisins as an alternative!

    Despite the rather lengthy list of ingredients, this oatmeal raisin cookie gets the vote from our family of 'most loved low sugar cookie'.

    Natalie actually requests this one, and for her, I add in both raisins and chocolate chips.

    I hope you enjoy it if you try it!

    Recipe notes

    If you're looking to lower the sugar further, omit the coconut sugar and add in a few extra drops of stevia.

    The sweeteners in this recipe include molasses, coconut sugar, and stevia, while applesauce, cinnamon, and vanilla all contribute to flavor.

    I like to use olive oil here, but feel free to substitute a more neutral oil, like grapeseed, if you'd prefer. Coconut oil and butter would also work well.

      Hi there, I love your recipes but I’m allergic to wheat and oats, and wondered if you could suggest as alternative to oats in this,and lots of your other recipes?
      Many thanks, Nic

        Hi Nic,

        Honestly, you're probably on the wrong blog! Oatmeal is a staple in my diet, and I use it a lot, hence my blog name. You might try googling 'grain-free blogs' if you're looking for those kinds of recipes. Good luck!

      Hi Lauren - Have you ever looked into histamine intolerance before? It sounds like you might have that. I love all your recipes!

        Hi Jennifer! I have explored histamine intolerance, as well as DAO activity, but it didn't seem to be my situation. It's a tough thing to diagnose, so I can't say for sure, but I think my problem is my immune system. Thanks for your thoughtful comment though! 🙂
