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!

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
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
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 agree, it's hard to make a plain old oatmeal cookie – something always creeps in there! These look lovely!

I love yogurt covered raisins too. So Very Much. Will be making these soon!
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!
These look absolutely delicious – love the yogurt covered raisins in here! I could eat them by the handful 🙂
Love yogurt-covered raisins! I am not a raisin person, so cover them in yogurt {or chocolate!}, and I'm in!
Love the idea of adding yogurt raisins to these! I love them too! I bet it made the cookies downright irresistible.
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
I don't normally love raisins, but yogurt-covered raisins are a whole different story. Yum!
I would like any kind of oatmeal cookies!
I love oatmeal cookies and seriously who would be able to resist yogurt covered oatmeal cookies. I'd do your homework for you! 🙂
My husband loves his oatmeal raisin cookies thick and moist. He's going to love these!!
