Ingredients
- 1 cup (240g) vegan butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) brown sugar, packed
- ⅓ cup (67g) granulated sugar
- ½ cup (120ml) unsweetened applesauce
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups (150g) rolled oats
- 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup (120g) raisins
- Optional: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened vegan butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and well combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients:
- Mix in the applesauce and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In another bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix Together:
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fold in the raisins and chopped nuts if using.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft; they will firm up as they cool.
- Cool:
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success
- Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
- Customization: Feel free to substitute raisins with chocolate chips or dried cranberries for a different flavor!
- Gluten-Free Option: For gluten-free cookies, use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
These vegan oatmeal raisin cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone! Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or as a delightful snack throughout the week!
