Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup coconut oil or vegan butter, melted
- 1/4 cup plant based milk (or water)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup raisins
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil or vegan butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, unsweetened applesauce, plant based milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Fold in the raisins.
- Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 12 - 15 minutes or until edges are golden. The cookies will still be soft in the center but will firm up as they cool.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
