These vegan oatmeal cookies are crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside! They can be made gluten-free, whole wheat or with all-purpose flours.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups (190 grams) flour see notes
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup (168 grams) coconut oil melted
  • 1 1/3 cups (266 grams) raw sugar or coconut sugar, or brown sugar
  • 2 prepared Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free Vegan Egg Replacer or chia eggs, see notes; or 2 large (50 grams each, out of shell) eggs for non-vegan
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups (260 grams) quick oats make sure to use GF, if needed
  • 1 1/4 cups (190 grams) raisins

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 °F (190 °C) and line a cookie sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • Stir together the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
    1 1/2 cups (190 grams) flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the melted coconut oil, sugar, replacement eggs or regular eggs, and vanilla and stir just until combined. It's okay if the oil starts separating. Don't try to recombine it.
    3/4 cup (168 grams) coconut oil, 1 1/3 cups (266 grams) raw sugar, 2 prepared Bob's Red Mill Gluten-free Vegan Egg Replacer, 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Add the dry mix to the wet mix and stir just until combined. Add the oats and raisins, again stirring just until combined.
    2 3/4 cups (260 grams) quick oats, 1 1/4 cups (190 grams) raisins
  • Form the dough into compact3 75-gram balls, about two inches or slightly over 1/4 cup in size, and place 4" apart on the prepared baking sheet. Press the balls down slightly with the palm of your hand.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the middle appears to be set and the cookies have evenly browned.
  • Let cool completely on the baking sheet. Remove to a wire rack and let sit for another few hours until they've firmed up completely. Store in an airtight container up to 5 days.

Notes

  • You can use whole wheat, whole spelt, or all-purpose flours. For a gluten-free version, use 1 1/2 cups (208 grams) Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour or this homemade gluten-free mix:
    • 1 cup (140 grams) white rice flour
    • 1/3 cup (52 grams) potato starch
    • 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons (20 grams) tapioca flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • To make the 2 chia eggs, mix 2 tablespoons ground chia seeds + 6 tablespoons water together until gloopy like an egg.
  • If the dough balls aren't compact, the cookies will come a little apart during baking. If that happens, press them back into shape after taking them out of the oven.
