recipe: chewy vegan oatmeal cookies

My husband and I can’t get enough of these cookies- and he isn’t even vegan! They are soft, coconutty, and have a hint of cinnamon. Best of all, you can add whatever you like to them to suit your taste buds even more!

Makes 3 dozen

(Variations include chocolate chips, raisins, butterscotch chips, and more!)

Chewy Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup vegan butter, room temperature
¾ granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
¼ cup applesauce
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 ½ cups large flake oats
1 ¼ cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 ½ tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
½ cup unsweetened coconut
2 cups raisins (or other)

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, applesauce, and vanilla extract.

2. In a large bowl, add remaining ingredients. Stir until just combined, and then fold in wet ingredients. Mix well.

3. Using a tablespoon, roll a ball into the palm of your hand. Gently flatten, then place on non-stick cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Allow to cool before transferring them!

(Store at room temperature in an airtight container or sealed bag for up to 7 days.)

vegan oatmeal raisin cookies

Processed with VSCO with a4 presetNow that I have eliminated so many foods and food groups from my breastfeeding diet, when it comes to indulging in sweet treats, I am limited to but a few options. Certainly nothing that involves dairy or chocolate. So what’s left? Nothing that is store-bought and tastes good!

I was going through my old recipe book one day and as luck would have it, I came across my vegan oatmeal raisin cookie recipe. I used to eat these cookies on a daily basis years ago when I was still a barista at a local coffee shop. The recipe is actually inspired by one of their vegan cookie recipes, but instead of raisins, they used dairy-free chocolate chips. It’s delicious either way.
