Equipment

measuring spoons
measuring cups
baking sheet
small bowl
stand mixer

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of flax meal
5 tablespoons of water
¾ cups vegan butter at room temperature
1 ¼ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
½ teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of baking powder
½ teaspoon of salt
2 ¼ cups old-fashioned oats
¾ cup of raisins optional
½ cup of chopped walnuts or pecans optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the flax meal and water until thoroughly combined. Let sit for 5 minutes.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large bowl with an electric handheld mixer), beat together the vegan butter and sugar for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the vanilla and flax meal mixture, and mix for another 1 to 2 minutes. Add the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and old-fashioned oats and mix until combined. Fold in the raisins and walnuts or pecans, if using.
Roll the dough into balls that are 1 ½ inches. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes.

Notes

Don’t over mix: If you overwork the gluten in the dough, it will affect the texture.
Allow them to cool: Immediately from the oven they’ll be fairly soft and fragile, so allow them to cool.
If the dough is really dry and crumbly: Add a small amount of plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, until it forms a dough. You can also add your favorite jam to achieve your desired consistency.
