Easy Vegan Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
These jazzylicious vegan oatmeal cookies by Laura Theodore feature a crisp outside and super moist center.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- ¾ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons vegan cane sugar
- ¾ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup ripe, peeled and mashed bananas
- ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons, room temperature vegan buttery spread
- 2 to 3 tablespoons unsweetened plant-based milk
- 2/3 cup dark raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350º F.
- Line a large cookie sheet (about 20- by 14-inch) with unbleached parchment paper.
- Put the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking soda and salt into a large bowl and stir with a whisk until combined.
- Put the mashed banana and buttery spread into a medium-sized bowl and mash together using a potato masher or large fork until well combined and only small flecks of the vegan buttery spread are visible.
- Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients and stir together using a large spoon until the dough starts to come together. Add 2 tablespoons of plant-based milk and stir to combine. If the dough seems dry, add 1 more tablespoon of plant-based milk. Fold in the raisins.
- Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the lined cookie sheet, spacing about ½-inch apart. Bake for 8 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and put the sheet on a wire rack and gently flatten the top of each cookie slightly with a spatula.
- Return to the oven and bake for an additional 6 to 7 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies are golden, but the tops are still a nice blonde color.
- Remove from the oven and transfer the cookies to a wire rack. Cool for 15 minutes before serving. Stored in a tightly covered container, leftover cookies will keep at room temperature for up to 2 days.
Notes
VARIATION: Substitute vegan dark chocolate chips for the raisins to make chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.
