As the name suggests, today’s recipe is a very easy bake with minimal ingredients. This cinnamon cookies recipe has a slight hint of cinnamon, just enough to taste it but not a huge amount to be overpowering for those who aren’t that keen. You can easily add more to your preference if you’d like a stronger cinnamon taste. Likewise, remove the cinnamon if you’d like a plain oat cookie recipe.
Suggested Recipe: Basic Oat Biscuits
Nutritional Information
Obviously, a cookie recipe doesn’t have an awful lot going from it on the nutrition front, but die to the oat base, they are quite high in fibre (for a cookie). They contain around 2.3g each (per 12th of a recipe), which is 10% of the RDA.
Simple Cinnamon Cookies Recipe
This cinnamon cookie recipe is a really easy bake, with a slight cinnamon flavour. It would be a great one to bake with kids too!
I opted to use rolled oats and oat flour for this recipe to add a little bit more texture, but you could use all of one or the other for a smoother cookie or crunchier biscuit texture.
These cookies have a slight crunch on the outside, but a soft bake centre. Cook for an extra 5 minutes if you’d prefer a fully crunchy cookie!
Simple Cinnamon Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
- ¼ cup vegan margarine 50 g
- ½ cup non-dairy milk 120 ml
- 2 tablespoons sunflower oil
- 2 cups oat flour
- ½ cup caster sugar
- ½ cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ tbsp cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 175°C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper.
-
Gently melt the butter over a low-medium heat. Add milk and 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil and mix together.
-
Once combined, take off the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt with a fork. Then stir in the rolled oats and cinnamon.
-
Make a well in the centre and pour in the butter mixture. Combine gradually until a thick dough forms. You may not need all of it, I used around 80%
-
Using your hands, roll dough into 10-12 little balls and flatten into cookie shapes. Place on the lined baking tray then cook for 15 minutes, until firm around the edges but still slightly soft in the centre.
-
Once cooked, allow to cool before serving
Serve and enjoy!
Are you a cinnamon fan? Would you add more or remove the autumnal spice completely?
Until next time,

These look so good and easy to make. I love that they have minimal ingredients, I’m all about that! The cinnamon is perfect for this time of year and would make me feel very cosy and autumnal 🙂
I’m always looking for new cookie recipes especially in winter, and these sound so good 🙂 I bet they smell so good too coming out of the oven!
These look yummy! And easy enough for even me to have a go at Love that they are gluten free & vegan!
Absolutely love how easy this recipe is! I would definitely swap the cinnamon for vanilla because I’m allergic but these are gorgeous!
Love, Amie ❤

Oh these sound delicious and very apt for the time of year.
I think I’ll be giving these a go x
These sound super yummy! I love a good cozy fall cookie. We haven’t done much baking since moving to Prague but I think it’s time to change that!
These look absolutely perfect and we love cinnamon in our family so we’d probably dial up the cinnamon rather than down! They also look like they’d hold decorations quite well too, so perfect for easy Hallowe’en cookies or Christmas treats. Yum, thank you, Sophie! X

So yummy!! Thanks for sharing!
This is such an easy peasy looking recipe, even for a disastrous baker like me, I’m sure the cookies would turn out half decent. If it was me, I would try adding coconut into the mix actually 🙂

LOOKS good!
Mmm these look really great! I’ve never really been a fan of cinnamon but I do quite like it in small doses because it can be slightly overpowering! I’ve baked cakes in the past but I haven’t tried cookies so I may have to now! X
These sounds so good. And I love oatmeal cookies (even with raisins)
I haven’t baked anything in so long and baking cookies was one of my favorite things. This recipe looks very easy and delicious. Need to save it for later. Thank you for sharing!
These look really great? I love a soft bake centre and I’m always such a cinammon lover so will be giving these a try! Plus, oat based cookies are my FAV!

I’d add as much cinnamon as possible. I am so weak for it, it compliments so many things! It really does make me sad that you don’t like bananas as spiced banana bread is a bake I could eat in one sitting. Appallingly, I’m not actually sure if I’ve tried cinnamon cookies yet… Great excuse to try this recipe!

I love seasonal recipes, I’m a big fan of cinnamon bakes! I will definitely try these out soon!

Tis the season! I ate a similar cookie with a cup of warm pumpkin spice bengal tea. A lovely combination; I am all for cinnamon in the fall weather for it gives a nice snap and crackle.
I love that you used oat flour and that it has a cinnamon flour. Cinnamon is one of my favorite spices, so I’ve pinned this recipe for later.
Who doesn’t love a great cookie! I can’t wait to try this recipe out on my husband! Thanks for sharing!
These look delicious! Cinnamon is one of my favorite sweet ingredients and I love it. Truthfully, not sure if I’ve ever had it in a cookie! I’m a typical chocolate chip cookie person lol

I literally just used the last of my oats to make myself some pumpkin spice oatmeal, and I wanted to bake something today but hadn’t settled on anything yet ahhh! I am tutoring someone this afternoon, and I wanted to have a snack for them, so I might just have to make these with standard flour :/ As soon as I make it to Whole Foods this week to stock back up on my GF rolled oats, I’m gonna take another wack at this recipe :’) I’m definitely a HUGE cinnamon fan! I think I might make these with pumpkin spice for a bit of a different flavour hehe xx
These look so tasty and seem the perfect little boost to have of a morning with a warm drink. Thanks for sharing, I’m sending you so much love!
With love, Alisha Valerie x | http://www.alishavalerie.com

I need to try these – I love cinnamon x
Love the sound of these cookies, they look great! I would probably go for it and add lots of cinnamon as I am a big fan, really want to have a go at making some cookies some point soon so may have a go at this recipe. I might make a few different types of cookies, some healthier ones and some with lots of chocolate hehe.
