No-Sugar Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

• 1/2 cup vegan butter, melted
• 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 1/3 cup flour
• 2 cups old-fashioned oats
• 1 1/2 cup raisins
• 1/4 Dairy-free milk, as needed

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare two sheet pans, lightly greased or lined with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted vegan butter, applesauce, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, sift or whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Mix the flour mixture into the wet ingredients and combine well. The batter should be free of lumps.
5. Use your hands to fold in the oats and raisins.
6. The dough should be tacky but not sticky. If the dough is too dry and flaky, add a splash of dairy-free milk until the dough is moldable (but not sticky).
7. Roll the dough out into walnut-sized balls, placing them on the sheet pans about an inch and a half to two inches apart.
8. Place cookies in the oven and make for 10-12 minutes.
9. Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying.
10. Store at room temperature for up to 4-5 days.
