Ooey, gooey, and comforting! These Deep Dish Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies are a healthy way to enjoy dessert for breakfast and packed with complex carbs, protein, and fibre. Gluten-free & vegan.
Promise not to judge me when I tell you that I kind of, sort of, maybe, definitely prefer oatmeal raisin cookies to oatmeal chocolate chip cookies?
You’re judging me. I know you are. And my 10-year old self would be right there with you. Back in the day, I wouldn’t touch anything with raisins in it, and I developed serious trust issues after the handful of times where my mom tossed some raisins into the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies she used to make me as a kid and told me they were just chocolate chip.
[Moms… don’t do that to your kids.]
But the older I got, the more I [voluntarily] started to dabble in the dark side, and I’ve gotten to the point where I can confidently say that raisins > chocolate chips. At least when it comes to oatmeal cookies. In my humble opinion, of course.
I don’t know what it is, but there’s just something so comforting about the combination of oats and raisins. And it’s even more awesome when it’s in the form of a GIANT deep dish cookie that’s actually healthy enough to eat for breakfast…
On that note, have you ever done the cookies for breakfast thing? Because as much as I love them, I don’t think I ever have.
I’ve done Poptarts, Nutrigrain bars, Eggos, jumbo muffins, cereal, oats… but never cookies. They just don’t feel like a breakfast food, eh? Probably because you’d have to eat about six of them to feel satisfied.
But these deep dish cookies? Totally different story.
Then again, I suppose I’m using the “cookie” term pretty loosely when it comes to these. They look and feel like a deep dish cookie (ooey, gooey, and comforting), but they’ve basically got the ingredients of a single-serve baked oatmeal… hence the “perfect for breakfast” bit. They’re also not as sweet or dessert-y thanks to a lack of butter, flour, and refined sugar.
BUT! they are deliciously healthy, gluten-free, vegan, and packed with the kind of things you want in your breakfast… like complex carbs, protein, and fiber. They’ll definitely keep you satisfied all morning and aren’t too hard on the tongue either… which sounded way better in my head than it did in writing. You know the expression “easy on the eyes?” Apparently it doesn’t transfer over so well to taste buds. Either way! They’re tasty little suckers and I hope you love them.
Happy eating!

Deep Dish Oatmeal Raisin Breakfast Cookies
- Total Time: 30 mins
- Yield: 1 serving 1x
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (20 g) quick oats
- 2 Tbsp (14 g) oat bran*
- 2 Tbsp (14 g) coconut flour**
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 1 Tbsp (15 ml) maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp (20 g) raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In an individual sized (~16oz.) ramekin or oven-safe dish, combine the oats, oat bran, coconut flour, cinnamon, and baking powder. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla, mixing until well combined. Finally, stir in the raisins.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until centre has set and desired consistency is reached. Top with any additional toppings and enjoy warm.
Notes
* If you don’t have any oat bran on hand, just use an additional 2 Tbsp (10 g) of oats. ** You can sub this for any flour you have on hand, but the coconut flour really helps give this bake a doughier texture. If you do switch out, you’ll need to reduce the almond milk to about 1/3 cup (80 ml)
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 25 mins

I have tasted many cookies in my life but oatmeal raisin is the best I am highly obliged after know how to turn on bluetooth on windows 10 within some commands.
Oh, and I tried to make a microwave-version, ended up with a really fluffy porridge, but that worked too, just very different texture 😉
This was soo yummy 😃
Yum…what a great breakfast option!
As long as I substitute chocolate chips for those raisins, this sounds delish! I make the deep dish double chocolate ones on a regular basis. A little variety never hurt anyone. 🙂
Probably the only thing better than a cookie is when it is a deep dish cookie. This looks delicious, although I would use chocolate chips instead 😉
Yum!! Deep dish cookies for breakfast?! Sign me up! I’m on team chocolate chips over raisins though!
Oatmeal and raisins definitely trumps oatmeal and chocolate. I’m right there with you, and I’d even make a cookie if I wasn’t so exhausted.
I’m team oatmeal chocolate chip cookies… but I can compromise! I’m cool with having raisins in my cookies as long as there are chocolate chips in there too. 😉
Love oatmeal cookies but the husband and kids prefer chocolate chip cookies! So if I make oatmeal cookies, I might eat too many of them! Going to have to try these since I can validate that they are healthy!
Fair. I feel like I haven’t had very many really, really good oatmeal raisin cookies in my life, but a few times when I’ve had really soft and chewy and cinnamony ones, they were so good. Definitely not judging.
This reminds me that I’ve been meaning to make one of your breakfast bake recipes sometime. I have some oat bran in my pantry and for some reason that’s always the recipe I think of when I see it.
Girlie, these look so soft and delicious and wonderful; I’ve never made a deep dish cookie before. It looks AMAZEBALLS!
I am SO down with this. And three cheers for oatmeal raisin cookies over oatmeal chocolate chip!! My best friend and I have a perpetual feud over chocolate chips v. raisins. I should make this for her and tell her it’s chocolate. *purple devil emoji*
Gah, I actually have a bag of raisins that I need to use here before we leave Ireland, and I would totally make this if I had all the flours and things! I’ll just take the raisins home and make it there, I guess 🙂
I was so excited to see this recipe this morning right before I ran on m treadmill! It was certainly delicious even without the oat bran. You did it again…xoxo
Is there a way to make this recipe for a group-more than one at a time
First off, this recipe is amazing. I absolutely love this idea.
Secondly, I totally prefer raisins to chocolate chips in my oatmeal cookies too! Unless its peanut butter oatmeal, then I want chocolate chips. But seriously nothing makes me happier than when I bite into a chewy, cinnamon-filled RAISIN oatmeal cookie 🙂
I have to admit, I’ll always take chocolate over raisins! I’ve eaten cookies for breakfast before, but not yummy healthy cookies like these. Just regular cookies…..
I love traditional chocolate chip cookies but oatmeal paired with raisin was actually the only way I ate oatmeal cookies growing up! Maybe a regional thing? Anyhow oatmeal raisin cookies will always have my heart!
When I was little i used to claim to hate raisins, even though I didn’t actually hate them, all because I thought liking raisins was weird… Now I proud love ’em! Cinnamon-raisin bread and oatmeal raisin cookies are two of my favorite ways to enjoy them, but I also like to toss them with a little salt and mix them into trail mix. Salted raisins are great, if weird. 🙂
Cookies for breakfast are a definite way to convert any breakfast hater into a breakfast lover! Loving that these are so thick and chewy, thats my type of breakfast cookie 🙂
