I have a sweet tooth but am also a health freak on a low budget so about 2 years ago I started surfing around the internet to look for for a nice and healthy recipe.
On 1 website (I can’t remember which one) I came across the recipe that I will show you here, with a few modifications of my own of course.
I use 3/4 cup of sugar instead of 1 3/4 and whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose. I rarely have chopped nuts or molasses so I often use Nature Valley honey and nut bars and lite syrup instead. They taste great both ways anyway.

Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour
• 1 1/4 cup of raisins
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 3/4 cup of nuts OR 2 hard nut and honey granola bars ground into small pieces
• 1/5 tsp of cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp of baking powder
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• 1.5 tsp of vanilla
• 2 tsp of syrup OR molasses
• 2 tbsp of water
• 3 eggs

Equipment

• a large mixing bowl
• measurement cups and spoons
• a ice-cream scoop or spoon
• a fork
• a cookie sheet
• oven mittens
• a spatula

Preparation

Total preparation time : 1 hour

1) Preheat the oven to 350F

2) Put the flour, raisins, sugar, baking powder, nuts and cinnamon into the bowl and mix them well.
