In a separate bowl, combine 1 ¾ cup whole wheat flour, ¾ cup ground flax, 1 tsp baking powder and ½ tsp each of baking
soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir in ¼ tsp nutmeg and allspice, then add 1 cup raisins. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, combining thoroughly. Spoon 1 ½ tbsp of batter onto a greased sheet pan.
