These Healthy Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are totally delicious and easy to make! They are low in calories and also oil-free, low-carb, free of added-sugar, and gluten-free optional, making them the perfect guilt-free treat. Only 62 calories each!
I asked y'all on the VegAnnie Facebook page if there were any recipes you would like to see on the blog, and oatmeal raisin cookies was a super popular request! I was pretty excited about this because oatmeal raisin cookies have always been one of my faves. Also, who doesn't want an excuse to make cookies?!
Anyway, I hopped into the kitchen and started experimenting until I developed the most perfect, low-calorie, oil-free, sugar-free oatmeal raisin cookie that ever lived... and here they are!
If you like this recipe, you might also like my Skinny Chocolate Chip Cookies (another one of my all-time faves) or my Low-Carb Peanut Butter Cookies (these are also one of my faves... I think I just love all cookies)!
By the way, I'm always open to suggestions, so feel free to shoot me an email anytime if there's something you'd like to see me veganize/healthify!

Is that regular applesauce or unsweetened?
Hi Katie!
It is unsweetened - thanks for pointing that out! I just added it to the recipe.
Annie
Thank you for this recipe, I am keen to try it out as soon as possible, but, because I don't believe we have the Lakanto brand here in Australia, what is the equivalent measurement in an alternative sweetener - maple syrup, radapura sugar, .... etc.
Many thanks.
Hi Marina! I would use the same amount of any granulated sweetener. 🙂
Hi, I have been wondering if i can replace the granulated sweetener for liquid stevia and replace the bulk with additional applesauce while reducing the liquid content. Would that work?
Hi Merna! That sounds to me like it would work, but I'm not 100% sure. If you do try it, I'd love to hear how it turns out!
I am not fond of raisins but I love the low sugar Craisins. That would work, yes?
Yes that would definitely work and sounds delish! Would love to know how they turn out if you try!
