Delight your taste buds with these Vegan Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies, a guilt-free indulgence packed with wholesome ingredients and classic flavor! Perfectly soft and chewy, these cookies feature the nutty richness of old-fashioned rolled oats, warm hints of cinnamon, and bursts of natural sweetness from plump raisins. A blend of vegan butter, unsweetened applesauce, and brown sugar ensures a moist and tender texture, while optional chopped nuts add a satisfying crunch. With just 15 minutes of prep time and a quick bake, these cookies are ideal for busy weekdays or leisurely weekend baking sessions. Whether enjoyed as a snack, dessert, or paired with your favorite plant-based milk, this vegan twist on a timeless treat will leave everyone coming back for seconds.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Mix in the vanilla extract and unsweetened applesauce until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating on low speed until just combined.
Stir in the rolled oats, raisins, and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed in the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop dough onto the prepared baking sheets, making sure to leave about 2 inches between each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will set as they cool.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious, vegan oatmeal and raisin cookies with a glass of your favorite plant-based milk!
