Should I soak raisins in water before adding them to cookie batter?
If you prefer a soft feeling while eating the raisins in a cookie, then you should soak the raisins in water for a while before adding them to cookie batter. To do so, place the raisins in a bowl and pour boiling water on them. They will be soft within minutes. If you pour cold water the softening will take a couple of hours depending on the size of the raisins.
What kind of raisins are best for baking cookies?
Black raisin with its more flavorful taste and golden raisin with its fruitier taste and soft texture are the most preferred ones. However, all types of raisins can be used for baking cookies depending on one's palate.

½ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup old-fashioned oats
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon powder

Directions
Preheat the air fryer by setting temperature to 300°F and the timer to 3 minutes. Once you press the “Start/Pause” button, it will start warming up.
Lightly grease the baking tray or the basket depending on whichever your air fryer has.
Combine bananas, peanut butter, vanilla, and honey in a bowl and mix them until smooth.
In another bowl, mix flour, oats, baking soda, salt, cinnamon powder, and milk powder until even.
Combine both mixtures and mix them very well until a smooth batter forms.
Fold the raisins into the batter.
Put 1 tablespoon of batter onto the baking tray or into the basket with 2-inch intervals and flatten each batter to ½-inch thickness using a spoon.
Place the baking tray or the basket into the air fryer.
Reset the timer to 8 minutes and press the “Start/Pause” button to start baking cookies.
Bake the cookies until they are light golden.
Once they are cooked, remove the tray or the basket from the air fryer and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool down.
Enjoy your healthy cookies!
