Ingredients
6 cups uncooked rolled oats
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup softened margarine
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon water
1 cup raisins
Non-stick cooking spray
Directions
Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before beginning.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
Add the softened margarine to the dry ingredients. Using a pastry cutter, fork, or your fingertips, cut the margarine into the mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs or meal.
In a small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, vanilla extract, beaten egg whites, and water until blended.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the raisins, mixing only until the dough holds together; do not overmix.
Wash your hands again with soap and warm water. Dip your hands lightly in cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking while handling the dough.
Pinch off small pieces of dough and roll them between your palms into balls approximately 1 inch in diameter.
Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, then gently press each one down to about 1/4 inch thick.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are lightly golden brown and the centers are set.
Remove from the oven and allow the cakes to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
