Soft and chewy vegan oatmeal cookies. These super easy cookies are brown sugar sweetened, coconut and cinnamon infused and make a perfect treat or snack.
I love the look of these vegan oatmeal cookies. They have such a wholesome vibe!
I mean they just look like they’re right out of your grandmothers kitchen don’t they?
My grandmother baked the best cookies.
My mother reckons I inherited all my baking skills from my two grandmothers because my mother sure doesn’t like to bake and I love it! Bring on the vegan desserts!
These vegan oatmeal cookies are as hearty and delicious as they look. Sweetened with brown sugar and packed with rolled oats and dried coconut, there is not much that can beat a good oatmeal cookie!
When first testing these I tried following the method I used for my oatmeal crunchies recipe. But honestly I thought they came out a bit too crunchy.
The oatmeal crunchies are (of course) super crunchy, but they’re also thick squares, whereas these cookies are flatter and thinner so the result was just a little too crunchy.
So I adapted the method and the result was perfection. The perfect amount of crunchiness and softness.
I think you will love these vegan oatmeal cookies. They are:
- Both perfectly soft and crunchy
- Brown sugar sweetened
- Coconut and cinnamon infused
- Super easy
Keep stored in a sealed container at room temperature where they will stay good for up to one week.

Soft and chewy vegan oatmeal cookies. These super easy cookies are brown sugar sweetened, coconut and cinnamon infused and make a perfect treat or snack.
Ingredients
- 1 and 1/2 cups (144g) Rolled Oats
- 1 cup (125g) All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup (80g) Dried Coconut (dessicated)
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 cup (200g) Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup (112g) Vegan Butter
- 3 Tbsp Golden Syrup (or Maple Syrup)
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tbsp Soy Milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Add the rolled oats, flour, coconut, baking soda, salt and cinnamon to a mixing bowl and mix together.
- Cream the vegan butter and brown sugar together and then add the syrup and vanilla.
- Then mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients by hand. Stirring until the mixture is very crumbly.
- Add the soy milk and mix in. Check if you can roll some of it into a ball – it should be sticky enough to do so. It will still be crumbly and look almost as if it’s still too dry, but when you try and make a ball you’ll find it’s also very sticky. If it’s still too crumbly, add a tiny bit more soy milk until it’s sticky enough to roll into balls. When rolling into balls, you’ll find that you’re more pressing them into balls than rolling, this is fine, press into a ball and then roll a bit to make it nice and round and even.
- Place the rolled balls onto a parchment lined baking tray.
- Bake for 15 minutes. The edges should be firm and the tops lightly browned. They will be soft but will firm up while cooling.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before transferring to wire cooling rack to cool completely.

I’ve made these several times now and they’re my absolute favourite! Perfect chewy inside with crispy edges. Even better with chocolate chunks!
Really reminds me of Dad’s cookies we have in Canada, which were a favourite of mine as a child.
Thank you so much for this recipe!

So glad you like the recipe Jill! Thanks so much for the awesome review. xo
I have made these twice now with the kids, they are delicious, I get about 20 from the batch and cook them for a minute or two less. Kids love getting their hands stuck in to roll the dough into balls, and eating a little cookie dough along the way! This recipe is a keeper for me and my fussy daughter who won’t have raisins or chocolate chips in a cookie!

So glad to hear! Thanks so much for sharing and the awesome review! 🙂
Your instructions and video don’t mention pressing the balls before baking. Do they flatten on their own or is it just assumed that we do this? I’m wondering how thick they should be.
You just want to aim for at least 16 rolled cookies, though up to 20 is fine and then you bake them. They flatten in the oven while baking.
