I made these vegan maple pecan cookies for my neighbor’s fall party last month. The maple and pecans made the kitchen smell like autumn, and she said they were the coziest cookies she had ever served.
Delicious Vegan Maple Pecan Cookies Recipe
These cookies have a soft and chewy texture, with a nutty flavor from pecans and a subtle sweetness from maple syrup. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields approximately 12 cookies.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon optional
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick dough forms. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Shape the Cookies: Drop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a couple of inches apart.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

I keep the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to five days. The cookies stay chewy, and I let them come to room temperature before serving.
