Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil (melted)
- 0.5 cup Pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar or coconut sugar
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 0.75 cup Raisins or vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
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, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the applesauce, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
If using walnuts or pecans, fold them into the dough along with the raisins (or vegan chocolate chips).
Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and slightly firm on top.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your vegan oatmeal cookies with your favorite plant-based milk or a cup of tea!
