I’m a cookie gal. I’m always looking for ways to make all my favorite cookie variations accommodate my households food allergies (gluten, dairy, and eggs) AND have them taste delicious. These Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Cookies check all the boxes. They bake crisp on the outside and soft on the inside and are a crowd pleaser!
Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Chocolate Chip Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 flax egg
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated cane sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups 1:1 gluten free flour*
- 3/4 cup gluten free oats
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 3/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
-
In a small bowl combine ground flaxseed (or egg replacer) and water. Let sit for 2-5 minutes before adding to recipe.
-
In a medium bowl combine gluten free flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine.
-
In a large bowl beat sugars, softened butter, and flax egg until fluffy.
-
Add dry ingredients to wet a little at a time and mix until combined.
-
Fold in vegan chocolate chips, oats, and raisins one at a time. Cover dough and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
-
Form dough into 1" balls and place about 2" apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are golden brown. The middle of the cookies will still be soft.
-
Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat for remaining dough.
-
Store leftover cookies (if there are any) in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Recipe Notes
*different gluten free flour blends may require more or less flour than 1 1/2 cups. I recommend adding small spoonfuls at a time as needed until the dough is not sticky and holds together in a ball.
Substitutions:
- Flour: I use Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 gluten free flour for this recipe. I’m sure you could sub other flour blends but I would recommend adding them 1/4 – 1/2 cup at a time as different flour blends will likely need slightly more/less flour to get the right consistency. I have not tried this recipe with non gluten free flour.
- Butter: I’m sure you could use non vegan butter but I have not tried this recipe with that. For this recipe I used Earth Balance.
- Eggs: I have not tried this recipe with an egg but I am sure it would turn out great!
