Ingredients

  • ¾ cup flour (spelt, oat, all-purpose gluten-free, or white flour)
  • ⅓ cup rolled oats
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup sugar (white, coconut, or brown sugar)
  • ⅓ cup raisins
  • 3 tbsp vegan butter (or melted coconut oil or softened almond butter)
  • 1½ tbsp water or dairy-free milk
  • ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Optional: ½ tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda, salt, sugar, raisins, and cinnamon (if using). Mix well.
  • Add vegan butter, water or milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until a cookie dough forms.
  • For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes.
  • Scoop dough into balls and place on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake for 11 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  • Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free oats and gluten-free flour.
  • To make the cookies fat-free, substitute butter with applesauce, canned pumpkin, or mashed banana (texture will be more cake-like).
  • Customize with dried cranberries, chopped dates, or other dried fruits instead of raisins.
