Soak the raisins in the hot water for at least 15 minutes. Set aside.
-
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the oats. Set aside.

In a mixer, beat together the butter and brown sugar until well combined, about 1 minute. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Drain the raisins and stir them into the batter. Chill the dough for at least 1 hour or up to overnight (the dough can also be pre-scooped and frozen for future use).
-
Preheat the oven to 375 °F. Line a couple sheet pans with parchment paper.
-
Scoop the heaping tablespoon sized portions of the dough onto the lined sheet pans, spacing them about 1 1/2-inches apart.
-
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned. Let them cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Why this Easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies works for PCOS
Eating a substantial breakfast like this Easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
