Oatmeal Cookies Vegan Recipes

VEGAN OATMEAL COOKIES (GF)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, oats, gluten-free flour, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
• In a separate bowl, beat aquafaba (using a handheld mixer or by whisking vigorously, which will take much longer) until light and fluffy and loose peaks have formed. (Add 1/8 tsp cream of tartar to help them along if not whipping.)
• To the aquafaba, add the almond butter and oil and beat or whisk to combine. (The mixture will deflate a little - that's okay). Then add to dry ingredients and mix until combined. You should have a firm, semi-tacky dough (see photo). If not baking immediately, cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days (the cookies will develop a bit more flavor and slightly firmer texture if the dough chills, but chilling this long is not necessary).
• Scoop dough into roughly 2-Tablespoon amounts (I like this scoop) and place on prepared baking sheet with about a 1-inch gap in between each cookie to allow for spreading. Press down slightly with your palm to form a disc. Then use fingers to tuck in any raisins that might be sticking out. There should be about 12 cookies.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown and they've puffed up and expanded a bit. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the pan before enjoying (they will continue firming up as they cool).
• Store leftovers in a loosely sealed container at room temperature up to 2-3 days, or in the freezer for 1 month. We recommend storing them in the freezer once cooled to help retain their crispy exterior. These are so delicious when warm and dipped in homemade almond milk or a chai latte!

VEGAN OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
• In a stand-up mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream together the vegan butter with brown and granulated sugars until thick and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary.
• Add applesauce and vanilla extract and beat to combine. The dough may look curdled at this point.
• In a large bowl combine oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. With the mixer on low, add the dry ingredients to the butter/sugar mixer in 3 batches, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each batch. Mix until a uniform dough has formed.
• Wrap bowl in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes before baking.
• Once chilled, scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough at a time and round them between your hands. Place rounded cookies on the prepared baking sheet, about 3 inches apart from one another. Repeat until both cookie sheets are filled up. You will likely have extra dough for a 3rd sheet.
• Press each cookie down slightly with the palm of your hand and bake for 9-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. They will appear slightly underdone when you pull them out of the oven but will continue cooking on the baking sheet.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. The uncooked dough can be stored in the freezer for up to 2 months.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a cookie sheet.
• Sift flour, brown sugar, sugar, instant oatmeal, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir in walnuts and raisins.
• Combine banana, cocoa, and almond milk in a food processor; process until pureed. Transfer to a bowl and mix in vegan margarine, orange juice, vanilla, and molasses until combined. Pour into the dry mixture and mix with a spatula to combine. Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned but not hardened, about 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 to 4 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Serve warm.
