I can’t stop enjoying these vegan oatmeal apple cookies. They are not just any cookie; they are like a warm hug in fall, wrapped in a crunchy, sweet outside. The first time I bit into one, it took me back to childhood, reminding me of school lunch treats and the delicious smell of cookies baking at home.
These cookies truly stand out. They mix the natural sweetness of apples with the cozy spice of cinnamon and the nice crunch of walnuts. Each bite is a joy, with chewy raisins that dance on your taste buds. The hearty oats hold everything together, giving a nice texture while ensuring the cookies are gluten-free and vegan-friendly. They are an easy crowd-pleaser, making any occasion feel a bit more special.
I first enjoyed these tasty treats in a cute café hidden in a busy spot. The place had rustic charm – worn wooden tables, the wonderful smell of fresh coffee, and sweet baked goods. I spotted a glass jar on the counter, filled with cookies mixed with golden oats and shiny apple pieces. That first bite was like finding treasure – a perfectly balanced treat that wrapped me in warmth. Since then, I have been excited to recreate that experience in my own kitchen.
You might wonder if these cookies are actually healthy. Well, they really can be! Apples are full of vitamins and fiber, making them tasty and nutritious. Oats are famous for being heart-healthy and give a nice fiber boost. Walnuts add healthy fats and a bit of protein, making these cookies a balanced snack.
If you want to get creative, try swapping raisins for dried cranberries for a tangy twist, or use almond flour for a different texture. This recipe is so adaptable – let your taste buds lead the way!
These ingredients blend to create a flavor celebration that is not only delicious but also makes snacking healthier. And the best part? You do not need to be an expert baker to make these!
If you are searching for a comforting yet healthy treat, these cookies might become your favorite. They shine at any event, whether you are with friends or treating yourself. I promise, after making them, you will find reasons to bake them again and again. Here’s to happy baking and filling your kitchen with delightful scents and wonderful memories!
To make the Vegan Oatmeal Apple Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat your oven to 350 °F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir together 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed and 4 tablespoons warm water in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken for about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, stir together 1 ½ cups oat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon sea salt.
In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup creamy almond butter, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, ¼ cup applesauce, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup brown sugar.
Stir in the thickened flaxseed mixture, aka flaxseed egg, until well combined.
Stir 1 cup whole rolled oats, ¾ cup finely chopped apples, ½ cup chopped walnuts, and ¼ cup raisins into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until fully combined. The batter should be thick and sticky.
Drop rounded tablespoons of the prepared batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and gently press down.
Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown. Avoid under-baking to prevent the cookies from falling apart.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a cooling wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy!
