Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with Einkorn Flour Recipe

By Lisa Maliga, copyright 2018-2025

Now you can bake soft, chewy einkorn oatmeal‑raisin cookies made with ancient‑grain einkorn flour. Packed with warm cinnamon, hearty oats, and juicy raisins, these cookies are a deliciously wholesome treat. Ideal for lunch boxes, snack time, or straight from the oven—healthy doesn’t have to be boring.

In this recipe, I used both walnuts and pecans. Of course, you can opt for nut-free, use different nuts, or change the raisins to sultanas or dried cranberries/other types of fruit. The cookies shown here are very soft and chewy -- and will remain that way for a few days. If they last that long! Einkorn flour is different from the usual all-purpose wheat flour found in grocery stores, because it’s an ancient grain that has not been hybridized. It comes from Italy and is high in the antioxidant lutein.

"A Good Gluten?: The gluten in einkorn lacks the high molecular weight proteins that many people can’t digest. If you are sensitive to modern wheat, einkorn can provide a delicious alternative. Please note that einkorn does contain gluten and is therefore not ok for those with Celiac Disease" from the jovial website.
