At the beginning of April, I wanted to make oatmeal raisin cookies. Instead, I got nervous and had to add some walnuts to make my walnut oatmeal raisin cookies.
This time, I wanted to try to make them again. Just plain oatmeal raisin cookies. And still, I had to make it weird by putting yogurt covered raisins in the place of raisins.
It seems like I am incapable of making Plain Jane oatmeal raisin cookies.
But the reason I made these Oatmeal Yogurt Raisin Cookies as opposed to regular raisin cookies is because I buy SO many bags of yogurt covered raisins. They are my not-so-secret addiction.
And since swimsuit season is rapidly approaching, I probably didn’t want bags of these things lying around within my reach.
Sharing them in cookie form is always the solution.
I’m always happy when I get to add another cookie recipe to my repertoire. I mean, who doesn’t like cookies! I’m sure I could bribe my entire class to do their homework if I promised a couple of Oreos upon completion.
Hmm.. That might be a good idea…
What you need to make these Oatmeal Yogurt Raisin Cookies
Basically pantry essentials. All you need is:
- oats
- flour
- baking powder
- cinnamon
- salt
- butter
- brown & white sugar
- vanilla
- eggs
- yogurt covered raisins
But these cookies! They may even make raisin haters forget they hate raisins! I mean, if the raisins are hidden in yogurt which are then hidden in cookies?
These cookies, as most cookies in my house, were gone within a couple of days. Now as I’m writing this, I want to make more.
Well, I have to use my many bags of yogurt covered raisins somehow!

HAHA. We think so much alike!! My sister wanted some oatmeal raisin cookies, but while I was buying raisins, I saw yogurt covered raisins and bought them instead!!! These look awesome!
Hi Cathleen , your cookies looks delicious thanks for sharing 🙂
Oh hell yes.
a healthy version of cookies, thumbs up!
Oatmeal, yogurt and raisin…awesome breakfast cookies, Cathleen.
Haha, I'm addicted to those yogurt-covered raisins too! My husband thinks it's so weird but I think they're awesome. Next time I buy them in bulk I'll try sticking them in cookies!
I´ve never heard about yogurt covered raisins before! I have to check if I find them here in Germany 🙂 maybe I´m the next one getting addictec to it?! 😀
Chunky, chewy and tasty! 🙂 ela
I never thought to use yogurt covered raisins in a cookie before! What a fantastic idea!
I'm one of those people that aren't fans of raisins… but if it's coated in yogurt and in a cookie… well maybe 😉 Hahaha these look great!
These look like perfect cookies! Delicious beyond…
My son recently discovered yogurt covered raisins, now they're the only kind he wants.
Woooo… yogurt covered raisins cookies! Sounds really tasty. Thumbs up!
Ohhh galletas se ven deliciosas y perfectas,abrazos
My husband loves his oatmeal raisin cookies thick and moist. He's going to love these!!
I love oatmeal cookies and seriously who would be able to resist yogurt covered oatmeal cookies. I'd do your homework for you! 🙂
I would like any kind of oatmeal cookies!
I don't normally love raisins, but yogurt-covered raisins are a whole different story. Yum!
Adding yogurt covered raisins to oatmeal cookies is a fabulous idea! They're very addicting so using them in cookies sounds great instead of eating half the bag. haha
Love the idea of adding yogurt raisins to these! I love them too! I bet it made the cookies downright irresistible.
Love yogurt-covered raisins! I am not a raisin person, so cover them in yogurt {or chocolate!}, and I'm in!
These look absolutely delicious – love the yogurt covered raisins in here! I could eat them by the handful 🙂
Yogurt covered raisins are so tasty! I wouldn't have thought to add them to cookies. What a great idea. I bet they are so good!
I love yogurt covered raisins too. So Very Much. Will be making these soon!
YUMMY Yum Yum!! I Like! xx
I agree, it's hard to make a plain old oatmeal cookie – something always creeps in there! These look lovely!
cheers – Donalyn@ http://thecreeksidecook.com
I am oddly addicted to yogurt (and chocolate) covered raisins too, even though I don't really like plain raisins! I've never thought to put them in cookies though – these sound awesome!
I love oatmeal cookies. When I read yogurt I wondered how yogurt cookie would turn out – but then I saw its yogurt coated raisins. That would work really well. Even these raisins on its own are super delicious
This sounds fantastic! I love yogurt and chocolate covered raisins and nuts, SO TASTY! Whenever I need l;ike a brolly or something from the poundshop, I find it hard to pass the "healthy" snack section, mmmmm! How many cookies does this recipe yield? 🙂 x
These are one of my favorite cookies… perfect with a tall cool glass of milk, I like that you have included whole wheat flour as part of the ingredients. I have pinned to try. Thanks for sharing ♥
Thank you for pinning!
I do not see “whole wheat flour” in the recipe at all??
The recipe looks like it will make delicious cookies. However, it is missing a step, but I made do. Also I had to add a little milk to be able to properly mix the ingredients.
Thank you for letting me know about the missing step! I fixed it in the recipe.
I will test this recipe again to make sure I am not missing more wet ingredients. Thanks for the feedback Delores!
I am brand new to yogurt raisins! I honestly eat hot oatmeal daily and was thinking I might add yogurt raisins to it. Not sure on the results 🙂 Maybe the yogurt will melt in but hopefully tastey. Any experience?
Ooh, yes I have done that. I prefer it when you freeze the yogurt raisins first. Makes sure it doesn’t melt. Unless you wanted it to melt!
These cookies are my husband’s favorite! I can’t wait to surprise him with these cookies again. So delicious and great combination!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
We are big fans of oatmeal cookies and you just took them up a notch with the yogurt raisins. I can’t wait to make these for my family.
They are some of my favourites 😉
These cookies look delicious and the yogurt covered raisins make them unique.
Yogurt covered raisins are definitely underrated 😉
My kiddos loved these! Thank you!
Yay! So glad to hear that!
I LOVE yogurt raisins, but never thought of baking with them! Genius!
It is one of my favourite things to do! 😉
Jeez!! I really wish that people leaving reviews for a recipe would not do so unless they have actually used the recipe. I mean, I appreciate the show of support for the “author”, but most of the comments here are about how good the recipe looks and/or how delicious the recipe sounds. How about you make the cookies first and then let us know how they turned out? Thanks!
I had a bag of yogurt raisins left over from the grandkids’ visit. I thought they might be good in oatmeal cookies (yogurt raisins, not the grandkids, hehe). Found your recipe and it turns out I was right. 11 minutes was the magic bake time in my oven. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
That makes me so happy to hear 🙂
Can i make homemade yogurt raisins as we dont have here in the markets?
Thnx ⚘️
I have never tried, but I don’t see why not!
