The Best Vegan Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

The Best Vegan Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

In my opinion, there are not many vegan snacks that are better than oatmeal cookies, in almost any aspect that you want to look at it. That’s why I decided to share my special recipe on how I make vegan oatmeal cookies. They are soft in the center, a little crisp around the edges, but perfectly sweet in the manner that you’d expect.

The mix of rolled oats, brown sugar, and a hint of cinnamon gives these cookies that old-fashioned flavor you likely love. I use both applesauce and coconut milk to keep them soft and give them rich buttery taste respectively. The last time I served them to some of my non-vegan friends, they swore it was not vegan, none could tell these cookies were 100% vegan.

Like I implied earlier, making these vegan oatmeal cookies is easy. You just need to follow the simple steps outlined in the recipe below and in less than 30 minutes you have some of most tasty desserts and snacks ever.
