Some more ideas

Add the finely grated zest of 1 small lemon or orange to the mixture with the oatmeal and raisins. * Sift in 1–1½ tsp ground mixed spice, cinnamon or ginger with the flour.

Plus points

Raisins are a useful source of iron, potassium and fibre as well as natural sugar. If you serve these cookies with a glass of freshly squeezed orange or pink grapefruit juice, the vitamin C in the fruit juice will help the body absorb the iron in the raisins.
* Oatmeal is an excellent source of soluble fibre, which can help to reduce high blood cholesterol levels, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease. Soluble fibre also helps to slow the absorption of carbohydrate into the bloodstream, resulting in a gentler rise and fall in blood sugar levels.

Lovely cookies and very easy to make. Used sultanas as the kids prefer them and they turned out perfectly. Will make again (possibly tomorrow at the rate they are being eaten!). Thanks for the recipe

I just made my first ever cookies with this recipe and they turned out fantastic! I made a second batch with apples inplace of the raisins and it worked great. I did however use plain white sugar instead of muscavodo as that's all I had, however in the future I will stick to muscavodo as it has more nutrients. Thank You for this recipe!

I have been looking for a great oatmeal rasin recipe for months, I may well have found the one! Lovely, crunchy edge ad soft chewy centre, just how a cookie should be. Just made them this morning and am having to keep the children away from the kitchen or there will be none left by tea time!

Used different ingredients. Added musli to the oats. They came out great but a little too sweet. So remember to cut the sugar or fruits down.
