Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies. Part Deux. Vegan.
Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies. Made with nut butters and packed full of goodness. These healthy cookies make a great snack or treat any time of the day! Vegan Recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Raw turbinado sugar or jaggery
- 1.5 tablespoon agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon flax meal
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 1.5 tablespoon roasted almond butter, (Homemade nut butter recipes)
- 1 tablespoon Organic sunflower Oil or coconut oil, (coconut oil will add a slight coconutty taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup oats, or more as needed
- 1/2 cup self rising flour, (can be substituted by all purpose flour + 1/4 teaspoon baking powder)
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flax meal and hot water and let sit for a minute.
- Add in the room temperature almond butter, oil, sugar and agave syrup and mix well by hand or by hand mixer until the mixture feels light. The almond I used was store bought and it takes a while to mix up.
- Add in 1/2 cup oats, salt, cinnamon powder and lemon juice and a little flour(1/4 cup) and mix till just about combined.
- Add in more oats and flour if needed to get gooey muffin mixture kind of consistency, Or a very sticky dough. If you added too much flour or oatmeal and the mixture looks like a stiff dry dough, then add in a little oil and or lemon juice to make it gooey. (If the dough is stiff and not sticky, the cookies might come out too hard). Fold in cranberries
- Oil hands or tablespoon and pick up tablespoon full dough, drop them and flatten on parchment paper. Thinner the better.!
- Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 10-11 minutes(add minutes depending on the thickness of the cookie). The cookies should Not be runny or liquidy.
- They might look wet because of the shiny oil, but check with toothpick to confirm they are not squishy. They cook quite easily esp because there is no egg!
- Take cookies off baking tray and cool on rack for a few minutes!
- Store in airtight container for a week or so. Let me know how yours turn out!

I was looking for a healthy oat cookie recipe and this one ticks all the boxes! I used extra virgin olive oil instead of the oils suggested and dried sour cherries instead of cranberries. I made with store bought peanut butter which was a bit dry so I added some extra oil lemon juice and little bit of oat milk. Just pointing out a few errors in the recipe if it helps anyone:- The oats weighed a lot more than 13.5 grams 🙂and I think you forgot to mention when the cranberries are added. Thank you Richa. This is my go-to recipe now 🙏🏼🙂
yay! so glad it works for you! we’ll check on the cranberries part. thanks for the heads up!
Wondrous!
Getting a small collection here to ring the changes, really happy.
Gf biscuits are expensive to buy and I have never bought a packet twice and only embark about every two or three years hoping they improve, they do not!
I am happy to make as I think I am just mistrustful of packets of things and just make all here, yes it is work and you know that alright, it the pleasure in good foods and safe as I have the power to make.
