What you’ll need to make vegan oatmeal raisin chia cookies
- coconut oil, melted
- coconut sugar or regular brown sugar
- non-dairy milk of your choice (soy milk, pea milk, coconut milk, etc)
- vanilla for flavour
- all-purpose flour
- baking soda
- salt
- rolled oats, which are packed with fibre and protein! Read more about their health benefits here.

What oats should I use to make these cookies?
I recommend using rolled oats, because they have a much chewier texture than quick cook or instant oats. Steel cut oats are a lot harder than rolled oats, so they need to be cooked first. For the best results, use rolled oats.
