We are big fans of vegan oatmeal cookie recipes, and after sharing my peanut butter banana oatmeal cookies, it’s time for the old-time classic oatmeal raisin cookies. These are naturally chewy, sweet, and full of oats to bring you fiber and energy in the morning. So let’s see how to make eggless oatmeal raisin cookies.
Ingredients and Substitutions
All you need to make oatmeal raisins cookies without eggs or dairy are a few simple ingredients.
Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats – You can use quick oats instead of rolled oats, but the chewy texture won’t be the same. All-Purpose Flour – You can also use white spelt flour for a healthier alternative to all-purpose flour. Flax Meal – Flaxseed meal is a high-fiber and low-carb flour that brings texture to baking recipes. Baking Soda – for a bit of texture in the cookies. Vegan Butter – Coconut oil is not recommended for this recipe as the cookies would overly spread with it. Brown Sugar – Or coconut sugar. White Sugar – Or crystal sweetener. Cinnamon – Cinnamon adds a delicate flavor to these oatmeal cookies. Vanilla Extract – To bring a delicious taste.
