Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Chai-Spiced Bars

Another fall-inspired treat, which will satisfy any cravings you may have for Oatmeal Raisin Bars. I love a great cookie or bar and this particular version is not only vegan, but also whole-grain and includes a medley of autumn spices to keep it interesting. You probably have most of these ingredients in your kitchen right now.

First, combine the flaxseed and water in a small bowl and allow to thicken while you mix the other ingredients. Next, combine the dry ingredients in a bowl.

In a mixer or by hand, combine the coconut oil, vegan butter, brown sugar, and vanilla bean powder.

Pour the dry ingredients into the mixer and combine. Since it is still hot here on Maui, I usually put my cookie/bar dough in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to firm it up. After this, spread the dough in a parchment lined 8×8 pan.

Bake in 350 degree F oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool and cut into bars.

Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Chai-Spiced Bars

Ashley
I was really in the mood for a wholesome, lightly sweetened, chai-spiced Oatmeal bar and I think this meets all of those requirements. The edges are crispy and the center chewy, just the way I like them.
