Best 3 Almond Butter Raisin Cookies Vegan Gluten Free Recipes

VEGAN OATMEAL COOKIES (GF)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F (176 C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together almond flour, oats, gluten-free flour, raisins, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and brown sugar.
• In a separate bowl, beat aquafaba (using a handheld mixer or by whisking vigorously, which will take much longer) until light and fluffy and loose peaks have formed. (Add 1/8 tsp cream of tartar to help them along if not whipping.)
• To the aquafaba, add the almond butter and oil and beat or whisk to combine. (The mixture will deflate a little - that's okay). Then add to dry ingredients and mix until combined. You should have a firm, semi-tacky dough (see photo). If not baking immediately, cover and chill in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days (the cookies will develop a bit more flavor and slightly firmer texture if the dough chills, but chilling this long is not necessary).
• Scoop dough into roughly 2-Tablespoon amounts (I like this scoop) and place on prepared baking sheet with about a 1-inch gap in between each cookie to allow for spreading. Press down slightly with your palm to form a disc. Then use fingers to tuck in any raisins that might be sticking out. There should be about 12 cookies.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden brown and they've puffed up and expanded a bit. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the pan before enjoying (they will continue firming up as they cool).
• Store leftovers in a loosely sealed container at room temperature up to 2-3 days, or in the freezer for 1 month. We recommend storing them in the freezer once cooled to help retain their crispy exterior. These are so delicious when warm and dipped in homemade almond milk or a chai latte!

VEGAN ALMOND BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Add the vegan butter and white granulated sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer and cream them together until smooth. Add in the almond butter and vanilla extract and mix in.
• Add the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt to a separate bowl and mix together. Then add the dry ingredients in with the wet ingredients and mix in by hand (don't use the electric mixer for this part).
• Try rolling some of the cookie dough into a ball, if your dough is too crumbly to roll into a ball then add a tablespoon of soy milk and try again. I did not need any added soy milk at all, but I used a natural variety of almond butter (where the oil separates and sits on the top and then you mix it in very well before using) so if you use a version that is much less oily it could be that you'll need a little soy milk. But only use it if you have to.
• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Roll the cookie dough into balls and place onto a parchment lined baking tray. Aim for around 20 cookies. Then press down on them with a fork to flatten.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned on top. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking tray.
• When the cookies have cooled, melt the chocolate in the microwave by microwaving for 30 second intervals and bringing it out to stir every 30 seconds until melted. If your chocolate is a little too thick to drizzle nicely, then add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.
• Drizzle the chocolate over the top of the cookies. Place them into the fridge for 10 minutes for the chocolate to set and then your cookies are ready to serve.

ALMOND BUTTER RAISIN COOKIES (VEGAN, GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Soak raisins in warm water for 5 minutes, then discard soaking water.
• Stir dry ingredients together. In another bowl, mix wet ingredients together. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients until well combined (for a better and smoother result, use an electric mixer and stir in the rolled oats and raisins by hand after you`re done).
• Grease a cookie sheet and spoon drop about 2 tbsp worth of cookie dough for each cookie.
• Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before transfering to rack to cool another 5 minutes.
