Vegan Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies Sugar Free Recipes

VEGAN OATMEAL CRANBERRY COOKIES (SUGAR FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• These can be made with just a bowl and a spoon--overmixing will make them spongy, so start by mixing the dry ingredients together and then add syrups, oil, vanilla and cranberries.
• Spoon onto lightly greased, parchment or silpat surface. Bake for 10 or less minutes, until just turning slightly brown on edges--cookies may seem a bit too soft, but they will firm up a bit while still maintaining a good soft moist texture.
• Be careful not to overcook (or yes, they will be dry and hard)!

CRANBERRY AND CHOCOLATE CHUNK OATMEAL COOKIES (VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE, REFINED SUGAR-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a half-sheet baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl at oat flour, oats, maple sugar, arrowroot powder, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir.
• Add room temperature vegan butter, non-dairy milk, and vanilla to the mixing bowl. Use an electric hand mixer and mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
• Add unsweetened dried cranberries and chocolate. Mix again with the hand mixer or fold in with a spoon. The cookie batter will feel a bit crumbly like granola and that is okay. It will gel together as it bakes and then cools.
• Use a quarter cup measuring cup to scoop out 1/4 cup servings of the cookie batter. You want to really pack the cookie dough firmly into the measuring cup before inverting the measuring cup overtop the parchment paper lined baking sheet. If any cranberries, chocolate, or oatmeal flakes fall out of the cookie mounds, press them back in with your fingers. The batter should make 13 cookie mounds. The cookies will spread when they bake so leave room between the cookies and use two baking sheets if needed.
• Bake for 10 minutes. Allow the cookies to rest on the baking sheet for thirty minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to fully cool. The cookies will firm up as they cool. If you touch them too early they will fall apart.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days.

VEGAN OATMEAL COOKIES (GF)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, oats, gluten-free flour, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
• In a separate bowl, beat aquafaba (using a handheld mixer or by whisking vigorously, which will take much longer) until light and fluffy and loose peaks have formed. (Add 1/8 tsp cream of tartar to help them along if not whipping.)
• To the aquafaba, add the almond butter and oil and beat or whisk to combine. (The mixture will deflate a little - that's okay). Then add to dry ingredients and mix until combined. You should have a firm, semi-tacky dough (see photo). If not baking immediately, cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days (the cookies will develop a bit more flavor and slightly firmer texture if the dough chills, but chilling this long is not necessary).
• Scoop dough into roughly 2-Tablespoon amounts (I like this scoop) and place on prepared baking sheet with about a 1-inch gap in between each cookie to allow for spreading. Press down slightly with your palm to form a disc. Then use fingers to tuck in any raisins that might be sticking out. There should be about 12 cookies.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown and they've puffed up and expanded a bit. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the pan before enjoying (they will continue firming up as they cool).
• Store leftovers in a loosely sealed container at room temperature up to 2-3 days, or in the freezer for 1 month. We recommend storing them in the freezer once cooled to help retain their crispy exterior. These are so delicious when warm and dipped in homemade almond milk or a chai latte!

CRANBERRY-WALNUT OATMEAL COOKIES (VEGAN & GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a large bowl, combine the oats, cranberries, and walnuts.
• In a medium bowl, combine the banana, oil, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda until well blended.
• Add banana mixture to oat mixture, stirring to combine. Let stand 15 minutes.
• Lightly spray cookie sheets with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
• Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared sheets.
• Bake 14 to 15 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool on sheets 1 minute.
• Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days (or freeze in airtight bags/containers).
