This is my healthified version of a great classic vegan oatmeal cookie recipe (Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies). These come out cake-like, soft and chewy. The taste is fruity sweet and just perfect for us. I hope youll like them, too. :) Ingredients:
1/2 cup raisins (i used a mix of golden raisins, sultanas and cranberries) |
hot water, for plumping raisins |
1/3 cup non-dairy milk (e.g. soy milk) |
2 tablespoons flax seeds, ground |
1/4 cup dark brown sugar |
1/3 cup applesauce (i used a banana applesauce) |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/2 cup whole wheat flour (i used whole spelt flour) |
1/4 cup flour (i used spelt flour) |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups oats (i used a mix of five different grain flakes) |
Directions:
1. Put raisins (or dried fruit of choice) into a medium sized bowl. Cover with hot water and allow to soak until ready to use. Drain well before using.
2. In a large bowl use a fork to vigorously mix together the non-dairy milk and flax seeds. Add in the sugar and applesauce and mix for about 2 minutes until it reaches a caramel colour. Mix in vanilla extract.
3. Sift in flour, spices, baking soda and salt. Fold in oatmeal and raisins.
4. Drop dough in generous tbs onto a paper-lined (or greased) baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. Flatten the tops a bit.
5. Bake for 10-12 minutes in the preheated oven at 350°F/180°C.
6. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
