They&#8217;re loaded with real oats, chunky coconut, soft raisins and chocolate chips, making them a hearty treat that works as a dessert or an afternoon snack. With all those layers of flavor, nobody will be able to tell that this is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/dairy-free-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/dairy-free-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dairy-free cookie<\/a> and an excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/dairy-free-desserts\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/dairy-free-desserts\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">vegan dessert<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This vegan oatmeal cookie recipe avoids dairy ingredients by replacing them with easy nondairy alternatives.

The richness of the nondairy butter also delivers a delightful golden brown exterior, making these cookies as picture-perfect on a platter as they are tasty.<\/p>\n<h2>Vegan Oatmeal Cookies Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Vegan butter-style sticks:<\/strong> It&#8217;s almost impossible to tell good dairy-free butter from the real thing. The vegan butter creates tender, flavorful cookies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sugar:<\/strong> Plain granulated sugar contributes to this cookie&#8217;s crisp edges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brown sugar:<\/strong> Rich with molasses flavor, brown sugar makes for tasty cookies.

To make these cookies vegan, simply replace that with an <a href=\"http:\/\/tasteofhome.com\/article\/egg-substitutions-in-baking\/\" data-name=\"tasteofhome.com\/article\/egg-substitutions-in-baking\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">egg substitute<\/a>: powdered egg replacer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water:<\/strong> Adding water to the batter helps hydrate the oats, making them soft and tender (and not dry!).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maple syrup:<\/strong> The warm, sweet flavor of maple syrup complements the nutty flavor of the oats.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavorings:<\/strong> Like they do for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chewy-oatmeal-cookies\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/chewy-oatmeal-cookies\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">classic oatmeal cookies<\/a>, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt enhance and balance flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flour:<\/strong> Use plain all-purpose flour for these cookies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Quick-cooking oats:<\/strong> Choose the right <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-oats\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/different-types-of-oats\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">type of oats<\/a>. Quick-cooking oats are processed to cook quickly, ensuring that they&#8217;re soft and tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Baking soda:<\/strong> A pinch of baking soda leavens the cookies, making them light and airy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mix-ins:<\/strong> These cookies don&#8217;t skimp on tasty fillings.
