Comforting, flavourful oatmeal cookies with spice, orange and raisins. This vegan recipe is easy to make and a perfect treat for the Autumn and Winter months.
I’m really excited about today’s post because not only is this recipe incredibly delicious but it’s from one of my favourite blogging friend’s new cookbook!
These orange oatmeal raisin cookies are filled with warm festive flavour but no eggs or dairy, making these totally vegan-friendly (like all the recipes you’ll find here).
I’ve made these many times now and always crave more.
‘Bit of the Good Stuff’ by Sharon Collins
These cookies are from the ‘Bit of the Good Stuff’ cookbook, which is one of those cookbooks that is just a great all-rounder. Whether you want something healthy or indulgent, it’s just got the best of both. It’s the kind of book you would reach for to choose what to make for dinner or to plan your meals with.
And those are the best kinds of cookbooks, don’t you think?
Spiced Orange Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This recipe really caught my eye from the book because I realised I have no oatmeal cookies on the blog, plus it’s just so perfect for this time of year!
The smell that filled my kitchen when baking these was just so heavenly. And the flavour was even more heavenly.
These are one of the best holiday cookies I’ve ever tried! So flavourful and the texture is incredible.
