Easy Vegan Cookies Recipe with Oatmeal and Almond Flour

These 200 calorie chewy vegan oatmeal cookies make me feel like a world without butter could be a world I could get used to. Almond flour adds the perfect texture and keeps them moist and a dollop of jam is the perfect finish.

You may have noticed that I’m not vegan.

Not even a little. (Ahem, spicy bacon caramel popcorn anyone?)  I love vegan food though and am always looking for ways to reduce my consumption of animal based products. Vegan desserts though never seem to live up to the real thing.

My friend Nalini brought these chewy vegan oatmeal cookies to a Monday Macro dinner in Palo Alto (unfortunately now defunct) and they blew.my.mind.  Soft and tender goodness topped off with a dab of homemade jam.  Talk about amazing – no bacon (or butter for that matter) needed. I demanded the recipe on the spot.

I’m not an expert in using non-gluten flours, but after grinding almonds to make a coarse almond flour I want to try it in other recipes! It gives the cookies a great crumbly texture while still keeping them moist! None of that “thunk hitting my stomach like a brick” feeling that you might associate with vegan desserts. They will definitely satisfy even the most hardcore meat eater in your life. I will definitely make these cookies again and again – and not just because they are vegan. Easy Vegan Oatmeal Cookies Recipe with Almond Flour

Also, if you’re looking for a great vegan beauty option, I’m loving the lip & cheek tints from Lilah B. Their beauty products are cruelty free, have a beautiful design and they are based right outside of San Francisco!Easy Vegan Cookies Recipe with Oatmeal and Almond Flour

  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups whole almonds
  • 4 cups quick-cooking or old fashioned oats
