These vegan oatmeal cookies come with 5 add-ins, but as you saw above, you can mix and match them to make endless cookie flavors!The plant based cookies are easy and fast, and just 77 calories for a big cookie too!Special Tip: You can make smaller cookies (my original recipe ways for 30 cookies) and cut the calories. But I like these vegan oatmeal cookies big!
To make the Flax Eggs: combine 1 Tablespoon ground flax mixed with 2 Tablespoons water in a small bowl. Set aside for 5-10 minutes to thicken.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, cover 2-3 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a small bowl combine the flour, baking soda and salt, set aside.
In a large bowl or standing mixer whip coconut oil and sugar, add in flax egg and vanilla and mix together.
Add in apple sauce and mix. Then add in the flour mixture and mix until just combined.
Pour in the oats and any add-ins you desire and mix until just combined, over-mixing will make tough cookies. Then place in fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
Use a spoon to scoop golf ball sized dollops of cookie dough, give enough room for a little spreading. (push down a little with the palm of your hand if you want crispy and chewy cookies)
