These Vegan Apple Cookies with Oatmeal are an absolute must-bake during Fall and the cooler months of the year. They’re loaded with warm cinnamon flavor, sweet apples, and crunchy rolled oats!
Pre-heat oven to 350F / 170C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Prepare the flaxseed egg by mixing one tbsp of flaxseed with 3 tbsp of water. Let it sit for five minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, brown sugar and vanilla extract. Stir well.
Add the flaxseed egg to the mixture and stir again.
In another bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Then add the dry ingredients to the wet. Stir until combined.
Add the rolled oats and oat flour, and stir again.
Finally, add the diced apple and fold it into the mix.
Spoon the dough into 12-14 cookies, leaving two inches in between to let them expand. The batter will be sticky but easy to work with.
Bake the cookies for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden around the edges.
Let the cookies cool down completely before transferring them to a plate.
Notes
Oat flour can be easily made by blending/processing rolled oats for two minutes.You can sub out the regular all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour if needed.
