Almonds and hazelnut add rich nutty flavour to these vegan oatmeal cookies. They also provide fibres, vitamins, and plant-based proteins. Whilst blackcurrants are high in antioxidants and vitamin C, boosting your immune system and overall health.

Applesauce is a great fat substitute in baked goods and will keep them moist and soft. Also, preparing sugar-free cookies with applesauce means fewer calories and more fibre for you!

step 1

Before you prepare these vegan cookies, check out our baking guide for our best baking tips and tricks!

In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flakes, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and chopped almonds and hazelnuts.

Then, add the almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and dried blackcurrants.

step 2

Work the ingredients until they come together into a cookie dough.

The dough is ready if a pinch of the mixture stays in one incorporated ball when pushed together. Otherwise, add a splash of cold water or milk. You should have a soft and moist batter, but not too sticky. If needed, add flour or almond milk to reach the right consistency.

Refrigerate the dough for 20 minutes in a bowl covered with a tea towel.

Next, scoop a spoonful of cookie dough, roll it in the palm of your hands, and flatten it down on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Press with your fingertips to spread the cookie and give it a nice round shape.

Repeat this step until you have used all the dough.

step 3

Bake the cookies at 180°C for 20 minutes or until they are lightly golden.

Avoid over baking the biscuits as they will continue cooking for a short while after they 're out of the oven.

Next, transfer them over a wire rack to let them crisp up as they cool down.

Foodacious Tips

You can make your own almond flour by blitzing almonds into a fine powder in a food processor.
Instead of blackcurrants, you could use Goji berries, dried blueberries, or even chocolate chips.
