Ingredient Notes

  • Old fashioned rolled oats: They can also be labeled as "jumbo oats". These are the best for making oatmeal cookies, as they make the cookies nice and chewy.
  • Raisins: If you don't like raisins you can easily leave them out and still have incredible vegan oatmeal cookies! Try to get juicy plump raisins if you can.
  • Soft brown sugar and granulated sugar: The combination of sugars is key for these vegan oatmeal cookies. Brown sugar adds moisture and a slightly caramelized flavor, whereas white sugar creates a crunchy outer shell.
  • Ground cinnamon: This adds incredible flavor to vegan oat cookies. You can add more or less depending on how you like cinnamon, I wouldn't go over a tablespoon though!
  • Baking soda and baking powder: Baking soda helps to create a chewy cookie, and baking powder makes cookies light and airy. For the perfect vegan oatmeal cookie, that's the perfect balance of soft and chewy, this recipe uses a combination of both. Bigger Bolder Baking delves into leaveners for cookies more in this post.
  • Flax egg: This is the egg replacer in these vegan cookies and helps to create a chewy texture as well as bind together the cookie dough.

💬 FAQs

Can I use regular porridge oats to make vegan oatmeal cookies?

Yes, I've tested these cookies using both rolled oats (jumbo oats) and porridge oats, and both work beautifully.

How long are vegan oatmeal cookies good for?

They will last for about a week stored at room temperature in an airtight container.

How do you know when oatmeal raisin cookies are done?

The cookies should be golden brown and firm around the edges without appearing jiggly in the centers. This takes 12-14 minutes of baking, and they will harden as they cool.

Description

These vegan oatmeal raisin cookies are chewy and soft on the inside with a crip outer shell. With flavors of warming cinnamon spice, juicy raisins, and caramelized brown sugar, they are the ultimate vegan oat cookie!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line the base of 2 baking trays with a sheet of parchment paper. 
  • Add the vegan butter to a large mixing bowl and whisk with an electric whisk or stand mixer for a minute or two until light and fluffy.
    Add the brown sugar, and granulated sugar and beat for a couple of minutes to cream the sugar into the fats.
    Add the flax egg and vanilla extract and whisk to combine.
  • Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and mix using a spatula until the ingredients stick together to form a dough.
    Add in rolled oats and raisins and stir them into the cookie dough.
  • Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to measure out the cookies and place them on the lined baking trays, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
  • Bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes, then remove them from the oven and allow the cookies to sit on the baking tray to cool for about 5 minutes. To round off the cookie edges, use a large cookie cutter to round off the edges of the cookies while they are still hot.
    Next, carefully slide the sheet of parchment paper with the cookies off of the tray and onto a cooling rack. Cool for another 15-20 minutes until they reach room temperature before serving.

Storage

  • Store these cookies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Vegan butter: Take this out of the fridge to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. Make sure you use vegan block butter NOT spreadable butter from a tub.
  • Some white sugar in the US is not vegan, if in doubt use organic sugar.
  • To make a flax egg, mix 1 tablespoon milled flaxseeds with 2 tablespoons water and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
  • Cookies are fragile while hot, so don't attempt to move them from the tray immediately.
