Social distancing and quarantine means more time for baking and trying new recipes! I’ve been trying to create the perfect chewy oatmeal raisin cookies for the longest time and I have finally made the perfect recipe! Not only are these the CHEWIEST oatmeal raisin cookies, but they are also vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free!
The wholesome ingredients
I know that makes them sound insanely healthy but they are so delicious! Trust me, you wouldn’t be able to tell that they are secretly healthy!
They’re made with wholesome ingredients including coconut oil, oat flour, peanut butter, raisins and maple syrup!
The oat flour adds texture and works great as a flour replacement. It adds heartiness and warmth to the cookies which make them the perfect feel good cookie.
The peanut butter helps hold everything together but you can also use an egg instead if you’re not vegan or have a nut allergy.
Last but not least, the raisins and maple syrup add a natural sweetness to the cookies without making it overly so. There is also brown sugar to create that chewy texture!
Hope you love them as much as we did!
