    🍇Key Ingredients

    The ingredients for these cookies are simple and wholesome.

    1. Raisins- choose nice juicy ones for the best raisin cookie experience!
    2. Oatmeal- You can choose chunkier rolled oats, or finer oats. It doesn't really matter, they'll taste great either way
    3. Brown Sugar- I like to use a simple soft brown sugar. You can substitute with other sugars if you prefer.
    4. Plain (all purpose) flour- You can also choose wholemeal, spelt or gluten free flour if you wish!
    5. Linseed/Flaxseed- this is the egg substitute and helps to bind. Also a great source of Omegas! Grind your own, or buy pre-milled.

    ❓FAQ

    How long will these vegan cookies last once baked?

    Put these cookies in an airtight container and they will last for up to 14 days, or even longer.

    I don't like raisins! What else could I put in these cookies?

    These cookies work well with other dried fruit such as cranberries, cut up pieces of apricot or currents. You could also use chocolate chips!

    Are these cookies gluten-free?

    If you want to make these cookies gluten free, choose a gluten free flour and choose gluten free oats.

    What kind of oats do I need for this recipe?

    I have tested this recipe with both porridge oats and steel cut oats. It worked out well both times, so just use your favourite!

    Equipment

    • 2 Baking Sheets

    Ingredients Note:

    For accuracy, I measure all ingredients in metric as standard, then convert and test the recipe for American cup measurements etc.

    (Heads up Aussie and UK readers- your measurements in cups are sometimes different, so please use metric or check you have the correct cup and spoon type!!)

    Ingredients

    • 150 g (⅔ cups) brown sugar
    • 125 g (1 cups) plain flour (all purpose flour)
    • 150 g (1 ½ cups) oats (rolled or steel cut)
    • 125 ml (½ cups) vegetable oil
    • 3 tablespoon milled linseed (also known as flaxseed)
    • 9 tablespoon water (this gets mixed with the milled linseed)
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 150 g (1 cups) raisins
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder

    Instructions

    • Add the water to the milled flaxseed/linseed and leave it to plump up
    • In a large bowl, add the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and oil and mix well.
    • Now add in the milled linseed/water mixture and mix well.
    • Add the flour, salt, baking powder and mix well.
    • Add in the oats and mix well.
    • Now add in the raisins and mix.
    • If you want chewier cookies, put the mixture into the fridge for 15mins-30mins to cool down. If you prefer a crunchier slightly flatter cookie, cook straight away!
    • Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.
    • Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
    • Put out tablespoons of mixture into vaguely round shapes onto the baking sheets. 8 cookies per sheet.
    • Bake for between 12-15 minutes (depending on your oven! You might need to swap the sheets around half way).
    • Cookies are ready when they are gently brown. Let cool a bit before eating!

      I like how it uses oil for the cookies. Must be more moist and chewy? Definitely want to try this.
