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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

In another medium-sized bowl, whisk together the applesauce, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and brown sugar until smooth and fully combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold them together until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

If using walnuts or pecans, fold them into the dough along with the raisins (or vegan chocolate chips).

Step 6

Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, drop small mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Lightly flatten each cookie with the back of the spoon for even baking.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges and slightly firm on top.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Enjoy your vegan oatmeal cookies with your favorite plant-based milk or a cup of tea!
