Restore Your Soul With These Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

The ingredients you'll need for this easy vegan oatmeal cookie recipe are:

-3/4 cup raisins

-1 1/2 tbsp ground flaxseed

-1/4 cup soy milk

-2 heaping tsp chia seeds

-1 tsp vanilla extract

-dash cinnamon powder (optional)

Yes, you can make these Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies gluten-free by substituting the gluten-containing flour with oat flour or almond meal.

Instead of raisins, you can use any dried fruit or seed. You can use chopped apples, apricots, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries and even pumpkin seeds.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

 

Mix together the raisins, flaxseed, soy milk, and chia seeds in a large bowl. Mix well until it becomes like a thick paprika-like dough. Add in vanilla extract and cinnamon powder if you're using them. Mix until well combined, then pour the batter into six separate cookie rounds (about two tablespoons per round) on your prepared sheet. You can use your fingertips to smooth out or push down on each of the games so they flatten out some so they look more like regular cookies we typically envision

Bake for 15 minutes

In order to store your Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, you can place them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator. They should stay fresh for a maximum of five days.
