The Perfect Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe

User Rating

Everyone loves fresh, homemade oatmeal raisin cookies right? Well, vegans love vegan oatmeal raisin cookies too! In fact, vegans are pretty much known to love all kinds of cookies, as long as they're vegan. There tends to be very little difference between cookies made using milk, eggs and butter and those using vegan non-dairy substitutes (non-dairy milk, egg substitute and vegan margarine, usually), so don't be afraid to try these vegan oatmeal raisin cookies, and don't be afraid to share them with your friends either!

This recipe is a vegan, egg-free and dairy-free version of classic oatmeal raisin cookies, just like mom used to make and with all the essential ingredients: brown sugar, flour, vanilla, oatmeal, raisins and just a few spices, including cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg.

Blogger Kara Kehoe of VeganWifey.blogspot.com tried these cookies and suggests using a dash less nutmeg and cloves, and adding chopped walnuts.
