Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven or as a midday snack, these vegan oatmeal cookies will quickly become a household favorite.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted vegan butter or coconut oil, brown sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. The dough should come together and be slightly sticky.
If desired, fold in the raisins or chocolate chips for an added burst of flavor.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread slightly during baking.
Gently press down on each cookie with your fingers or the back of a spoon to flatten them slightly.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underdone but will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your delicious vegan oatmeal cookies!
