Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup (120 ml / 4.1 fl oz) organic virgin unrefined coconut oil, very soft
  • 1/3 cup (80 ml) organic dark brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 3 Tbsp (45 ml) plain, unsweetened soymilk or other plant-based milk
  • 2 Tbsp (30 ml) whole-grain soy flour
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 2 cups (480 ml) old-fashioned rolled oats
  • ¾ cup (180 ml / 6.1 fl oz) raisins
  • For a chewier cookie, pull them from the oven when the edges are set but the center is still soft. They will firm up as they cool on the baking sheet.
  • Customize your mix-ins! Swap raisins for vegan chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans.
  • If you don't have whole wheat pastry flour, use half all-purpose flour and half regular whole wheat flour for a similar light texture.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F / 177°C and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, cream together the softened coconut oil and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the soymilk, soy flour, and vanilla extract.
  4. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and sea salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry to the wet , mixing on low speed until a dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in the rolled oats and raisins by hand until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  8. Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets. Gently press down on each ball to slightly flatten.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may still look slightly soft.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. They will become crunchier as they cool. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
  11. Don't overmix the dough once you add the flour.
  12. Mix just until the flour is incorporated to ensure a tender, not tough, cookie.
