Nobdoy can guess these chewy, tasty and healthy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies as vegan.
- 3/4 Cup Or 1.5 Sticks Vegan Butter/Regular Butter, Unsalted (Room Temp)
- 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 flax egg
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 3/4 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1/2 Teaspoon Salt (I Used Only 1/4 Teaspoon)
- 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (I Used Only 1/4 Teaspoon)
- 3 Cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats (I Used Quick Cooking Oats - Not Instant)
- 1 Cup Dried Cranberries Or Cherries Or Raisins Or White/Dark Chocolate Chips (Optional, I Used Raisins)
- 1 Cup Toasted And Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans (Optional)
- Preheat oven at 350F/180C for 15 minutes. Prepare 2 large baking sheets either greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy. I used a hand mixer.
- In a blender, add flax seed powder and water and blend it until it's foamy.
- Add the flax seed mixture and vanilla extract to the creamed butter. Stir it well using a wooden spoon/spatula.
- In a medium size bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and combine it well using a spatula.
- Now stir the oats and other optional ingredients you wish to include.
- Drop the batter by a table spoon 2 inches apart. I used an ice cream scoop.
- Wet your hands and flatten the cookies so that they are about 1/2 an inch thick.
- Bake it for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centre is little wet.
- Remove it from the oven and let it cool in the baking sheet itself for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool it completely.
- I baked the batch with aluminum baking sheet for 14 minutes and the one in dark color non stick baking sheet for 13 minutes. The cookies were chewy.
- I wanted to try baking with vegan butter alternatives for long time now. So I bought Earth Balance Vegan Butter and tried this recipe with that, instead of regular dairy butter. I'm 100% sure that the cookies will come out good with regular butter also, because the original recipe uses the same.
