In a separate bowl, combine flour with baking powder and stir well to combine. Add to the egg mixture.
Finally, add the roasted oatmeal and raisins, stir well.

Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes
Be careful not to burn the raisins. It's best when raisins are hidden inside the cookie, not sticking out, or they may burn quickly.
Feel free to replace the monk fruit sweetener with regular table sugar if your diet allows.
