Categories     Dessert

Time 29m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3/4 cup almond flour or almond meal
3/4 cup rolled oats ((certified gluten-free as needed))
1/4 cup gluten-free flour blend ((or sub unsweetened desiccated or shredded coconut, but cookies will be less fluffy))
1/4 cup raisins ((or other dried fruit))
3/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/3 cup packed organic brown sugar ((or sub coconut sugar))
1/4 cup aquafaba ((the brine/liquid in a can of chickpeas // if not vegan, sub egg whites))
2 Tbsp almond butter* ((or other nut or seed butter))
2 ½ Tbsp avocado or melted coconut oil*

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!

Chewy Vegan Oatmeal Cookies with the perfect crispy outside and melt-in-your-mouth caramel center. Ready in just 20 minutes for a quick and delicious sweet treat.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup vegan butter
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup unsweetened apple sauce
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/4 cup old fashioned oats
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt

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.

1 ¼ cups brown sugar

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set: The cookies should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them: The cookies will be easier to handle and store once they have cooled completely.

Conclusion:

These vegan oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or dessert. They are easy to make and can be customized with your favorite add-ins. Whether you like them soft and chewy or crispy and crunchy, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth.
