Ingredients

1/2 pound Vegan butter I like Miyokos or Earth Balance sticks
1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup White sugar
2 Flax eggs
1 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour King Arthur gluten-free flour is great
1/2 cup almond flour
2 1/2 cups certified gluten-free oats Gluten Free Prairie are my favorite
1 tablespoon Baking powder
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
12 ounces raisins
1/2 cup Chopped nuts (optional, I prefer pecans)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees
In a large bowl, combine vegan butter, vanilla, brown sugar, vanilla, sugar, and flax eggs together until there are no clumps
In a medium bowl, whisk gluten-free all-purpose flour, almond flour, oatmeal, baking powder and baking soda together until combined
Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients
Once combined, fold in nuts (if using) and raisins
Let dough chill for 30 minutes (optional)
Using a cookie scoop, place evenly on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake 10-12 minutes

Notes

Pro tip: Use an ice cream or cookie scoop to easily partition the batter. This way, the cookies will be the same size and perfectly round

Cookie tips

Chill out! – While note required, chilling the batter takes extra time yes, but I it will yield the best cookies. This allows the butter to harden so the cookies do not flatten while baking. Chill for 30 minutes if you decide to do this step.
Don’t overbake – When the edges start to turn golden brown, and the fresh cookie smell fills your kitchen, that’s when you’ll know the cookies are done. If you overbake, the texture will not be as soft and fluffy.

How to store these vegan cookies

Storage – Store these cookies in a ziplock bag or airtight container on the counter for up to 5 days. Allow the cookies to cool to room temperature on a wire rack before storing them.

Freezing – You can freeze these delicious gluten free cookies or even the cookie dough. If freezing the cookie dough, let it thaw in the fridge for a few hours before baking.

Cookie FAQS

Rolled oats vs. quick oats?

Rolled oats won’t absorb as much liquid as quick oats, so they’ll be a tad bit flatter but have more moisture.

I like using rolled oats, but you can use quick oats or a combination of both. And make sure your oats are certified gluten-free!

Are oats gluten-free?

While oats are technically speaking, gluten free. They are highly cross contaminated with wheat. So it is very important to use certified gluten-free oats when baking with them.
