I've been enjoying baking lately and these Vegan Oatmeal Cookies are my latest baked recipe. They are also my latest favorite desserts.
I made them several times and tweaked them each time to get them exactly the way I wanted - soft and chewy with just the right consistency.
Sweet, soft, chewy, and made in one bowl. What's not to love?
I like them as is, but you could always add in your favorite mix-ins.

❤️ Why You'll Love Them
- They are soft and chewy. You can add your favorite mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or raisins.
- They're made in one bowl and you don't have to chill the dough.
- You can freeze the dough to have cookies later.
🧾 Ingredients
- Vegan butter: I used salted Melt Organic plant-based butter because that is the only vegan butter my grocery store had in stock. You could use your favorite vegan butter.
- Sugar: I used cane sugar.
- Brown sugar: I used light brown sugar, but you could use dark brown sugar.
- Vanilla extract: Enhances flavors.
- Gluten free 1:1 baking four: I used Bob's Red Mill. You could use your favorite gluten-free flour blend. As long as it is a 1:1 baking flour, it should produce good results.
- Baking soda: Allows the cookies to rise and become soft and fluffy.
- Salt: Enhances flavors. I like to use sea salt.
- Nutmeg: Adds a mild warm spice flavor.
- Rolled oats (old fashioned oats): I used gluten free rolled oats to avoid cross-contamination of wheat products.

💭 Tips
- For a successful recipe, I suggest measuring ingredients on a kitchen scale. It gives more accurate results.
- If you don't have a kitchen scale and want to try the recipe without one, make sure to scoop flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife. Don't shake it down or pack it into the measuring cup.
- Allow the cookies to cool so that they firm up and the sugar crystallizes.

Vegan Oatmeal Cookies
Equipment
- Handheld mixer or stand mixer

Ingredients
- ½ cup vegan butter (1 stick) softened to room temperature
- ½ cup sugar - I used cane sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar - I used light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup gluten free 1:1 baking flour - I used Bob's Red Mill
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.

- Add flour, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg to the bowl. Mix with a spoon or your hands.

- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out heaping tablespoonfuls of dough (about 1 ½") using a scoop or large spoon. Place the balls on the parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Bake at 350°F for 15 minutes. The cookies will be very soft. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely. They'll firm up as they cool.
