There’s something comforting about the aroma of freshly baked cookies filling the house. But what if you could enjoy that warm, homey feeling without any animal products? That’s where classic vegan oatmeal cookies come in. Not only are they deliciously satisfying, but they’re also guilt-free!
Every time I take a bite of these classic vegan oatmeal cookies, I’m transported back to a cozy little café I stumbled upon during a trip to Portland. The first bite was like a warm hug, and I knew I had to recreate them at home. What I love most about these cookies is that they’re not only incredibly tasty but also wholesome and nourishing.
