Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine softened vegan butter, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend the ingredients with a handheld mixer for about two minutes until creamy and light.
- Add the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt into the mixing bowl. Mix until fully combined, creating a soft dough.
- Fold in the rolled oats and vegan chocolate chips until well distributed. If the dough feels too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk.
