    I’ve been trying to recreate this recipe all of my adult life, and I’ve finally done it! These piloncillo almond butter oatmeal cookies are the perfect sweet treat, and they just so happen to be vegan too.

     So what makes these almond butter oatmeal cookies so special? I’m glad you asked. This is one of my favorite recipes from my childhood. Our nanny/housekeeper Polita would make these for us when we were little and we absolutely loved them!

    A glass mixing bowl with oats, sugar, and other additions.

    Later the recipe was lost and Polita was not one to write quantities down. For years she we asked her to please recreate them, but too much time had gone by, and the recipe was just a long gone memory.

    Well, amazingly Polita still works with my mom, and has become a sort of lifelong companion part employee, part family. After going vegan, I had completely given up on ever tasting these again, but after interrogating Polita incessantly I finally came up with something good.

    So good, that I am very happy to say, that the sweet smell of these cookies baking in the oven makes the 6 yr old inside me feel loved, safe, and happy. Enjoy!!

    • To make these gluten-free, use oat flour instead of all purpose flour.
    • You can also use peanut butter or tahini instead of almond butter.
    • You can change up the nuts, use cranberries instead of raisins, or even add chocolate chips.
