SCRUMPTIOUS OATMEAL COOKIES (vegan and plenty of fiber) I made these cookies at my dad’s reque

SCRUMPTIOUS OATMEAL COOKIES (vegan and plenty of fiber) I made these cookies at my dad’s request post-knee replacement and they were a hit! ⬇️⬇️⬇️⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
INGREDIENTS:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
1/2 cup @earthbalance vegan butter⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
1 cup brown sugar ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
3 tbsp maple syrup ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
1 tbsp vanilla extract⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
1 ½ cups @bobsredmill rolled oats ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
1 cup flour (can be GF, etc.)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
‍1 tsp baking soda ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
1/2 tsp salt⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Spoonful cinnamon ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
1/8c almond milk
2-3 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce (optional, makes cookies softer) ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Things got a bit unique for the fillers since we were out of raisins ☺️…I used:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
✨1/2c chopped prunes (‘prune cookies’ sounds strange but they worked well since prunes are like giant/juicer raisins)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
✨1/4c chopped pitted dates⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
✨1/2c crushed @foodsalive walnuts ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
(Can use ¾-1c raisins, walnuts optional)⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣HOW TO MAKE:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
0️⃣Pre-heat oven to 350F.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
1️⃣ Mix ‘butter’ (room temp) and brown sugar in bowl w/ electric mixer. Add syrup and vanilla.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
2️⃣In a separate bowl mix oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
3️⃣ Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet and mix by hand…this will take some and the dough will be quite crumbly.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
4️⃣ Add the almond milk and applesauce (optional). If still too thick to mix, add a splash of milk.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
5️⃣ Add fillers (raisins, walnuts, prunes, dates, etc.) ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
6️⃣ Line tray with parchment paper. Roll dough into small-medium balls and flatten them slightly on the tray. I fit ~16 on one tray.⁣
7️⃣ Bake until tops are golden brown (~15-20 mins) and VOILA you have some scrumptious cookies. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
➡️Pro-tip: if they stick around for several days, microwave before eating because warm oatmeal cookies are ENJOY⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
P.s. Hope you all are staying healthy (and sane) stuck at home ⁣⁣⁣⁣
