Vegan Oatmeal Carob Cookies

VeganKitten's Note:

These cookies have a chocolatey taste, and are rich in fiber. They are quite moist and very filling. These cookies have a subtle sweetness to them, making them sweet, yet not too sweet.

• Total Time: 17 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 12 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 12 cookies

• 1 cup whole grain wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup rolled oats
• 1 1/2 tablespoons carob powder
• 1/2 cup vanilla-flavored soymilk
• 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 dash cinnamon
• 1 pinch salt

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees (F).
2. Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl.
3. On a greased cookie sheet, place balls of dough spaced about 2" apart.
4. Bake for 8 minutes, then check on them. How long they take to bake will depend on your oven as well as how large you made each cookie. Mine usually take between 10 and tweleve minutes to bake.

I don't like carob, but these cookies are VERY good! They don't have a strong carob flavor, and they're not too sweet. I didn't have vanilla-flavored milk, so I used 1 TBSP instead of 1/2. Great with or without nuts. I added cinnamon chips and they were FANTASTIC!

Very light but filling – satisfying cookie. Loved that they are not sweet, I always find deserts to sweet. They were better once they cooled (could not wait to try them), I could taste the oil when hot. Will try replacing part of the oil by applesauce next time. Excellent, very moist cookie and sooo fast to prepare. Definitely a keeper, thank you VeganKitten.

I made these cookies and I have to say they are terrible. They are very tasteless. Maybe another 1/3 of a cup of natural or brown sugar would do but mine were not moist at all.
