Chewy Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies (Gluten Free option)
These perfectly chewy oatmeal raisin cookies are stuffed with all of your favorites - maple syrup and molasses to get that dynamite taste and texture, a hint of cinnamon for warmth, and of course bursting with raisins and oat-y goodness! You'll never know they are vegan and gluten free!
Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil mushy and room temperature, like softened butter
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- Scant ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tbsp molasses
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp ground flaxseed plus 2.5 tbsp water
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1¾ cups gluten free flour can sub all-purpose if desired. This links to my favorite store bought gluten free flour blend that works best with all of my recipes, or see "Ingredients Needed" section for further info.
- ½ tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup raisins
Instructions
- Make your flax egg by combining the ground flaxseed with 2.5 tbsp of water. Set aside for 5-10 minutes until it turns into a gel-like consistency.
- While the flax egg is setting, mix together the oats, flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt, and set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together the coconut oil with the brown sugar, then add in the maple syrup, molasses, vanilla extract, and flax egg, and mix until fully combined.
- Add in the dry ingredients and mix until smooth, then fold in the raisins.
- Let the dough sit covered at room temperature for 30 minutes. This will help the batter thicken up, and make the cookies that perfect chewy texture when baked. During this time, preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a pan with parchment paper.
- Once rested, scoop balls of dough around 2-tbsp in size onto the pan. You should get 12 cookies. Bake for 15 minutes, then let the cookies firm up for another 5-10 on the pan before moving to a cooling rack.
- Eat and enjoy!
