RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

• 2 cups rolled oats
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 6 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1.5 tablespoons peanut butter
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 tablespoons warm oat milk or water, as needed

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to Make Vegan Oatmeal Cookies

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until you get a coarse flour. You don?t need a fine powder, as the coarse texture adds a nice crunch. Transfer the oat flour to a large mixing bowl. Add salt and baking powder, and mix until well combined.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
3. Add the peanut butter mixture to the oats and mix well using a spatula. Slowly pour in the warm oat milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix well. Let the mixture cool slightly.
4. Use your hands to form a soft and smooth dough. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more warm water. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a smooth ball. If the dough is sticky, roll it directly on a baking sheet. Transfer the dough balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. No extra greasing needed. Flatten each cookie using a glass or cup to about 1/4 inch thick.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Keep a close eye during the last 5-8 minutes. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy with a glass of milk or store in an airtight jar for up to 1 week.

RECIPE NOTES

1. Blend the oats only until coarse for chewy vegan oatmeal cookies.
2. I have used warm oat milk to make the dough. You can also use warm water here. Also, make sure to add the liquid slowly to control the dough texture.
