Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

It’s easy to make this recipe gluten-free! Simply substitute a gluten-free all-purpose flour mix and pick up a bag of certified gluten-free quick-cooking oats. The remaining ingredients should be naturally gluten-free, but check the labels to be sure.

Ingredients

1 cup vegan butter-style sticks
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons powdered egg replacer
4 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup each raisins and sweetened shredded coconut
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

In a large bowl, cream vegan butter and sugars until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Combine egg replacer and water, mix until well combined. Let sit for one minute. Add to bowl with maple syrup and vanilla; beat well.
Combine the flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the raisins, coconut and chocolate chips. Drop by 2 tablespoonfuls 2-in. apart onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
Bake at 350° until edges are set and light brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks.
