My CSA gave these flame grape raisins last week. I still had a bag of them from last time. What to do with too many raisins? I googled "vegan oatmeal raisin cookies" and chose VeganYumYum, because i like her style! She was actually testing VeganFamilyFavorites.com recipe, and I trust them as well, so gave it a whirl.
I only had 3/4 cup margarine. Still made them with 1/4 cup less oats. First batch went in the oven looked really dry. So with the remaining dough, I added applesauce to make it more moist. Baked the second batch.
The results:
First batch came out looking really dry and unappetizing, but after they cooled, they were actually not! They were delicious! The flavor was very buttery and chewy like a non-vegan cookie would be.
The second batch came out looking excellent - they browned around the edges and looked very moist, and they were, but i thought the applesauce was too prominent. They were definitely more cake-like.
In the end, I discovered looks are definitely deceiving. Even though something may not look appetizing, they turned out really good and better than expected!
