Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  • 3/4 c. vegan butter / pureed white beans (I used 1/2 c. beans and 1/4 c. Earth Balance stick)
  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 c. brown sugar
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. soy milk
  • 1 c. flour (I used 3/4 c. wheat and 1/4 c. white)
  • 1/2 t. baking soda
  • 1/2 t. salt
  • 1 t. cinnamon
  • 1/2 t. ground cloves
  • 1/2 t. nutmeg
  • 1 c. raisins
  • 3 c. rolled or instant oatmeal
*Beat butter/beans, sugar, brown sugar & vanilla until smooth & fluffy. Add soymilk & mix until combined. Then add flour, baking soda, salt, & spices & stir until well mixed. Add remaining ingredients.

The batter will be thick!! Use a spoon and drop 3" spoonfuls onto the cookie sheet and flatten slightly. The dough will seem like it's not sticking together super well, but it'll bake out beautifully.

Bake for 12-15 min or until done.

They were chewy and delish and when using beans I feel like I'm eating something healthy with the oats and the raisins (we'll ignore the sugar) - teehee. Enjoy!!!
