This vegan cookies recipe is fabulous and so easy! These Oatmeal-Raisin Breakfast Cookies are vegan and healthy enough to eat for breakfast but still feel like dessert!
Time to get into the vegan mindset. I am doing a vegan challenge starting Monday and I am therefore prepping myself up for it. I have already finished my greek yogurt and I’m gonna have the last of my egg whites tomorrow.
I’ve been looking for different recipes to use during the vegan week. Am I completely prepared? No. But that’s okay. I’m excited to start! I decided to make some quick breakfasts ready and what better way to start your day than with a cookie? Exactly. Such a perfect decision. Especially when that cookie is also low calorie!
I love me a healthy cookie!

Looks super tasty 🙂 I love a good oatmeal cookie! Good luck on your vegan week! I can’t wait to see what you cook up.
You take beautiful food photos. Mine are pretty awful, lol. Any tips for a newbie?
For mine, I take them all using natural light during the day. I also shoot with a dSLR with a 30mm lens at 2.2 aperture so give the photos a nice depth of field. The main thing I would say is try shooting natural lighting and then edit the photos afterwards to make sure the colors are good and aren’t too orange or too blue (color temperature). Sorry to have been a photo geek on you! haha Hope that helps?
Vegan week sounds fun! I have at least 3 dinners a week being vegitarian, and I make myself have one be vegan! When I make desserts, I almost always try to make them vegan, finding almond milk has been amazing! Suggestion–substitute eggs for one tablespoon of freshly ground flax, with 3 tablespoons of water, mix and let sit for a short period of time! Good luck, these cookies look great!
Thank you for the tip! I’ve been looking at ways to replace eggs in baking and didn’t know which option is best, there are so many! Thank you. I’m gonna use this substation when I make muffins tomorrow!
Good for you, going Vegan!! My daughter’s friend is doing the same, I think the only thing I’d miss is milk. But I would get over that if I could eat these:)
Haha thanks well see how it goes. I eat yogurt and eggs and honey a lot so it might be pretty hard. But I’m prepared mentally for it, I think :p
these cookies look AMAZING! and delish! If you have a minute, I would love for you to come link them up on my blog 🙂 Have a great day!
