Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare the "flax eggs" by mixing 4 tablespoon of flax seed meal with 4 tablespoon of warm water and set aside for 2 minutes. A thick paste will form.
In a large bowl, mix the melted vegan butter, applesauce, monk-fruit sweetener or sugar, maple syrup, almond milk, vanilla, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt together. Add the flax eggs and mix. Add the oats and flour and mix until a thick batter forms. Fold in the raisins or dates.
Use a tablespoon to scoop out a tablespoon of batter per cookie and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your fingers to gently form the cookies into round shapes and press down slightly on the cookies until they are about ½ inch thick. You should have about 60 cookies.
Bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes. They will be chewy and soft (similar to Alyssa's Healthy Oatmeal Bites texture)
