Mmm! Mmm! AWESOME afternoon snack today! 
I basically made a “healthier” oatmeal raisin cookie in the microwave– and it took me just 3 minutes.
Here’s what to do:
Combine the follow ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl:
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/8 cup liquid egg whites
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp raisins
- Cinnamon to taste
- Scrape batter off the sides of the bowl and flatten into a cookie shape.
- Cook in microwave for 45 seconds.
- Allow to cool and enjoy!
YUM!!! This recipe is definitely a keeper! It’s almost as delicious as the “real deal,” but much more nutritious. And, most importantly, it satisfies my cookie cravings!

Just made this with quick-cooking oats, mashed banana to substitute for egg, and a combination of dates and raisins. Turned out delicious! I will try substituting honey for brown sugar and just raisins next time (couldn’t really taste the dates in there); I think maybe honey would make it moister.
This looks yummy! I will have to try this! If I wanted to use a fresh egg white instead of the liquid would I just use one…?
@Katie: Sure! Give it a try!
I just tried this and it was great! It sure is filling
Mine was a little slimy after 45 seconds, is that normal or a sign that I need to replace my microwave, haha?
After months have wanting to try this, I FINALLY remembered to pack the ingredients to make it for an afternoon snack at work. I cannot believe I waited so long. I loved it. Thanks
It’s good to see and share good healthy eating recipe’s
@Trevor: Yeah.. I just share with others one of mine friend is fond of this food..
I’m going to try this recipe, it looks delicious (and easy!). One thing though, I thought the calorie count didn’s seem quite right, so I ran it through a recipe calculator, and it’s actually 280 calories.
My apologies, I reran it and it came to about 200 cals.
This recipe has revolutionized dessert. It is yummier than a normal cookie in my opinion. Thank you Christina for a wonderful recipe!!!!
I add a few chocolate chips to my cookie:)
I just made this, it is sooo good, and completely healthy, thanks for the quick, delicious recipe!
mine came out slimy too :/ any suggestions?
Maybe cook it longer?
I love this recipe. On the weekends I put together 5 bags of the dry ingredients so during the week all I have to do is add the egg whites & vanilla. I top mine with peanut butter and honey. It keeps me full until lunch!
Thanks for posting.
PS. I cook mine for a minute and it’s not slimy. Dried cranberries taste great, too.
On this 3 minute oatmeal raisin cookie, is the microwave setting on high? I didn’t see answers to the ones who wrote in to say theirs were slimy. Can anyone answer that please? Thanks
Yes.
I also didn’t have any egg whites, so I substituted in a combination of peanut butter, honey, and milk. Mmm so gooey and yummy. Thanks for the recipe!
Perfect solution to my never-ending cookie cravings!!
Chocolate chip is generally my poison of choice – but oatmeal raisin is a close second
I made it with a whole egg instead of egg whites (because that’s what I had!) and just cooked it a little longer to compensate. It actually is a BIG cookie (no complaints!). I ate it with a few fresh strawberries on the side and it was the perfect almost-no-guilt ending to my meal last night
I saw this recipe online, and i immediately clicked on it.
The pictures look delicious!
I was wondering, if i don’t have liquid egg whites, could i use a banana or just 1 egg white from an egg instead?
Also, I know this sounds crazy, but i don’t have a microwave at home, so how long do you think i should bake it for?
Thanks!!
Also, do you have any other low calorie recipes? Like brownies or flourless chocolate cake??
This cookie is the best grab and go breakfast option ever and its so large it feels very indulgent. Thanks!
What a creative idea! Can’t wait to try it!
i just made this and it was delicious and so easy! i followed jenny’s suggestion and used a banana instead of egg whites and replaced 1 tsp of the brown sugar with honey. so good!! it was a great snack after my morning run. i want another one now!
(i tried making this for the first time yesterday and accidentally microwaved it for 3 mins instead of 45secs….don’t make the same mistake!)
@Olivia: Mmm! That sounds so good!
Just made this as a pre-dinner snack. Great recipe, very filling, and satisfied my sweet tooth! This would be great for breakfast with a nice glass of milk!
I love oatmeal raisin cookies; Teh Husband despises oatmeal raisin cookies (and any baked goods containing raisins). Must try this. Thank you!
Love this! I know this is an old post, but I just tried it with dark chocolate chips instead of raisins. So good. The scoop of low-fat icecream I added may have negated the whole ‘fewer calories’ concept though.
Quick and yummy and very filling. I think this could be a great breakfast.
I just made this with a whole egg, and whole wheat flour, and substituted fresh sliced strawberries. I made it in a mug and had to cook it for 1:15 [old microwave] but it turned out like a fresh baked muffin and smelled FANTASTIC. Sooo delicious and quite filling. Thank you so much! Good to have something quick for late night studying that’s also healthy. <3
I just made this with regular oats and it is very rubbery (ugh). Was I supposed to use quick oats?
Yep! I think I used quick oats!
@Tina: Thank you. I love oatmeal cookies so I will have to try it again with the quick oats.
I love this idea! I love chewy oatmeal. How long would these keep for? Could I make them ahead of time?
I saw this, and I knew I just had to tweak it to my dietary needs. Looks sooo good!
1/4 cup GF oats
I TBS raw light agave
1 tsp ground flax seed
1 tsp GF flour
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 TBS unsweetened soy milk
1/2 TBS unsweetened apple sauce
Microwave 30 seconds- um, YUMMY!
(GF and vegan- full of fiber and nutrients!)
@Kaitlyn:
I used ur recipe but instead of oats i used oat bran, and instead of soy milk, I used natural homemade whey protein… turned out sooo yummy!! thanks!
what’s liquid egg whites? Can i just use egg whites instead of liqiuid egg whites?
Yep, regular egg whites work too!
Would it taste weird if I used 2 tsp of white sugar instead of brown sugar?
I’m not sure, but it would probably taste fine!
I just took my basic recipe like this one only added coco and brown sugar cranberries and raisins butter and really coooked in a microwave for about 6 minutes it made one big cookie i placed 6 small spoon fulls on a plate and it grew together….and awesome it tastes really good chocolate cranberry raisin oatmeal cookie cooked in 6 mins let cool cut up and enjoy…….mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
the cinammon is very important…just a little salt ….
i’m eating my cookie now sooooo yum!! thank you!
Karo syrup would make it moister but that’s not really healthy. Try a teaspoon of that and a teaspoon of honey.
