Gluten-Free Vegan Oatmeal Cookies
These Gluten-Free Vegan Oatmeal Cookies have a chewy center and perfectly crispy edges. They're made in one bowl with simple ingredients and they're allergy-friendly so everyone can enjoy!
Equipment
- Parchment paper
- Wire rack (optional)
- Cookie scoop (optional)
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free baking flour
- 1 ½ cup rolled oats
- ½ cup avocado oil
- 1 Flax egg (1 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 Tbsp warm water)
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 6 tbsp white sugar*
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 2 - 4 tbsp oat milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Start by making the flax egg. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and set it aside for 5 minutes.
- Once the flax egg is set, add both sugars and the remaining wet ingredients to the bowl with the flax egg. Stir until everything is evenly distributed.
- Next, add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is evenly combined. If the cookie dough is too dry, add 1 Tbsp of oat milk at a time until it is sticky enough to form dough balls, but not too wet.
- Portion even amounts of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll the dough into balls and space them at least 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. These cookies spread a bit, so make sure not to place them too closely. Use two cookie sheets if necessary.
- Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 11-13 minutes. The cookies are done when they are slightly golden brown.
- For best results, allow the cookies to cool while on the baking sheet (for a firmer bottom) or on a wire rack (for a chewier bottom).
- That's it! Enjoy!
Notes
*A note about granulated sugar: Not all granulated sugar is vegan. Make sure to choose a USDA Organic variety (or variety otherwise noted to be vegan) to ensure it is not processed with bone char, an animal ingredient.
**Please note: The nutritional information provided for each recipe is an estimate and may vary depending on the specific brands of ingredients used, portion sizes, and preparation methods. For accurate nutritional details, consider consulting a registered dietitian or using a trusted nutritional calculator.
- Not Vegan? Use 1 egg instead of a flax egg or use dairy milk instead of non-dairy.
- Oil-free? Swap the oil for equal parts unsweetened applesauce. The cookie will have a fluffier and cakier texture, but will still be delicious.
