Vegan Salted Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookies
These Vegan Salted Caramel Apple Oatmeal Cookies pack the perfect blend of chewy oats, sweet apples, and a hint of salty caramel—autumn in every bite!
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups rolled old fashioned oats
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1 egg replacer (I use Bob's Red Mill)
- 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup Granny Smith apples (peeled and cut into 1/4 inch cubes)
- 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix the egg replacer with water according to the instructions on the package. Set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the all-purpose flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Whisk until combined.
- Using either a stand mixer or a hand held mixer, cream together the butter and the brown sugar until combined. Add the egg replacer and pure vanilla extract and mix.
- Toss the diced apples with lemon juice in bowl. Add flour mixture to egg and vanilla mixture and mix until combined, then stir in the apples.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop approximately 2 tbsp of dough and drop it onto the lined cookie sheet. Flatten them slightly.
- Cook for 14-15 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Make the salted caramel according to the directions in this post. Drizzle the caramel onto the cooled cookies using either a fork or spoon.
