3 Ingredient Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I love a good grab-and-go snackโ€”and these Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Snack Bites fit the bill! While these “cookies” aren’t a replacement for a true dessert when your sweet tooth is calling, these snack bites have enough natural sweetness to satisfy a craving for something sweet, while also being nourishing enough to give you some much-needed energy during an afternoon crash. 

These snack bites have just three ingredientsโ€”oats, banana, and raisinsโ€”and after a quick trip in the oven, they make a chewy, soft, tasty snack bite that is perfect for mornings when you need a quick breakfast or afternoons when you are craving something sweet! These snack cookies are gluten-free, vegan, and free from added sugar. You can keep them plain or dress them up with a drizzle of chocolate for a touch of decadence.

Are these snack bites crunchy or chewy?

Thanks to the moisture of the banana, these snack bite cookies are moist, chewy, and softโ€”similar to the texture of a cereal barโ€”with a strong banana flavor. 

What’s the best way to store these snack bites?

Keep these snack bite cookies in an airtight food storage container in your fridge for up to a week. To freeze, place them in a single layer on a parchment or silicone mat lined baking sheet and freeze solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe food storage container or freezer bag for up to 6 months. Defrost by setting them out on the counter for about 20 minutes before enjoying.

  1. I just discovered this blog and I LOVE IT AND YOU. But, ahem…I digress. It turns out I just made very similar treats tonight, with a mashed banana, 1/2 cup rolled oats, and chocolate chips. Oh, and I added some cocoa powder because I felt like I needed to.

    I wish I had done raisins instead. I have a MEGA MEGA sweet tooth (I’d say with some firmness that I’m a refined sugar addict), but I found with chocolate chips it just…wasn’t quite right. Maybe I just needed bigger chips? But what I think is that I really needed these gigantic raisins instead. Raisins are my JAM!

    Anyway, thanks for your great blog. I feel like I know you, even though I don’t! I just spent an hour tootling around here instead of doing my work. ๐Ÿ™‚ Anyway, back to the grind.

  2. Sorry but these were just BAD. They should not be called cookies, or edible food for that matter.
    Will try the almond cookies from a previous post this weekend, hoping they don’t disappoint as much.

  3. Yum! I will totally try these. I’m a super lazy baker and this is right up my alley ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. The chocolate drizzle on top makes it look so professional! I’m going to go ahead and files these under a snack food rather than dessert food so I can eat them al day long ๐Ÿ™‚
