I have had trouble in the past finding healthy cookie recipes that actually tasted good, but I have to say, these cookies do the trick.
Chewy
Soft-baked
Perfectly sweet
Moist
Mouth watering
I made a double batch and tested two ways to make these cookies and I believe I found the perfect combination of chewy and soft with just the right amount of sweetness.
Serve these soft-baked oatmeal raisin cookies at a brunch, your kids birthday party, a dinner party, or even just to share with your family and friends. Bring these to work and I promise everyone the office will be your new best friend.
Almond milk + soft-baked oatmeal raisin cookies = best combination ever.
Quick, simple vegan recipes are my absolute favorite. Taking only 5 minutes to prep and 12 minutes in the oven, you can have your cookies made and ready under 30 minutes. UM YES PLEASE!
What’s better than one cookie? A whole plate of vegan cookies! I have to admit, it’s hard to eat just one of these delicious soft-baked oatmeal raisin cookies. Also, don’t worry if you have a couple as they are so healthy!

Loved this. I used a bit more applesauce based on feel if batter and added crasins in addition to raisins and vegan chocolate chips. For my next batch, I’m also adding pecans! Sooooo yummy!
Is this cookie more chewy than Rip Esselstyn’s? Thanks!!
Yes, I prefer these!
Would peanut butter be an okay sub for almond butter?? Or do you think the taste will be very different? I’m trying it this week so I’ll update the rating then 😊
YES!!
