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, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, cream the softened vegan margarine with a hand mixer or a spoon until smooth. Add the unsweetened applesauce and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
If the dough is too dry, add the non-dairy milk one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Fold in the raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Gently flatten each cookie ball slightly using the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your classic vegan oatmeal cookies with a glass of non-dairy milk or as a standalone treat!
