Description:

These thick, chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are the BEST!


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 3 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 1/2 cups raisins
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In stand mixer cream the butter and sugar together about 2 minutes until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until combined.
  2. In separate bowl whisk flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon together.
  3. Turn mixer to low and slowly add flour mixture into butter mixture until combined.
  4. Slowly add in oats and mix until evenly incorporated.
  5. Finally add in raisins and white chips and stir until mixed in.
  6. Let dough chill for at least 2 hours (overnight is best)
  7. When ready to bake preheat oven to 350°
  8. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion out the dough and place 2 inches apart on baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 9-11 minutes until golden around edges, but still soft in center. Do not over-bake!!
  11. Let cool on baking sheet for 3 minutes and transfer to cooling rack.

Notes:

You can substitute in nuts or semi-sweet chips for the white chocolate chips, if desired.
Also, you don’t have to let the dough chill, but cookies may spread more if you don’t. I prefer the dough to chill, as I find the flavors come together better and also, the cookie bakes nicer, in my opinion.

Keto Pancake


Keto Pancakes MADE IN 1 MINUTE 
THE BEST Low Carb, Fluffy, and EASY Almond Flour Keto Pancake Recipe

A stack of pancakes on a plate with syrup being poured on them.

The BEST low carb keto pancakes. This recipe makes thick and fluffy almond flour keto pancakes in 1 minute! As far as quick and easy keto breakfast recipes go it doesn’t get much better than these pancakes, or should I say pancake? … That just depends on how many you make! 
  • Author: The Diet Chef
  • Prep Time: 4 Minutes
  • Cook Time: 1 Minute
  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 2 Pancakes 1x
  • Category: Breakfast
  • Cuisine: Keto
SCALE 

Ingredients

1 Egg
1/2 Tbsp (7g) Melted Salted Butter
1/4 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract (or Almond Extract which I prefer)
2 1/2 Tbsps (35g) Keto Maple Syrup
1/2 Cup (56g) Almond flour
1/2 Tsp Baking Powder

Instructions

Add all of the liquid ingredients into a medium sized bowl or large measuring cup (for easier pouring), and mix until combined.
Now, add all of the dry ingredients into the same bowl, and mix those until combined with the wet ingredients.
Once combined cook the pancake/s…

1 MINUTE VERSION:

Coat 8 Ounce ramekin – or bigger – with baking spray, add the batter to the ramekin, and microwave.
Microwave times will vary!! In my 1100 Watt microwave, 45 seconds is the perfect cook-time.
However, I highly, HIGHLY recommend, erring on the side of less cooktime and slightly underdone, than overdone.
YOU CAN ALWAYS ADD COOK-TIME!
The middle should be slightly “wet” and look a little underdone when it comes out of the microwave. Don’t worry, it will continue to cook once it’s out of there.
Add butter, keto maple syrup, and enjoy!!

COOKING THESE PANCAKES ON THE STOVETOP:

Turn the stove up to medium heat, coat a pan with baking spray (or butter) and heat the butter/oil.
Once the oil/butter is heated add 1/2 to 1/3 of the batter to the middle of the pan and cook until bubbles start to form, and the outside ring of the pancake turns a “lighter” color. This will take a 3ish minutes to happen.
*Note: This pancake makes 2 medium sized pancakes, and 3 small sized ones.
Now, give your pancakes a flip, and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Just until you can press down on it, and you can feel some “give” to it…and it doesn’t feel wet.

Notes

Nutritional info is for 2 pancakes. Since the “mug version” of the recipe makes such a large amount of pancake, and the stove top version makes 2+ normal sized ones….It’s listed for 2 pancakes.
