Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 175°C (155°C fan). Line two baking trays with baking paper.

  2. 2

    Beat the dairy free spread with both sugars for 2 minutes until pale. Beat in the egg and vanilla.

  3. 3

    Mix the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, then stir into the wet mix. Fold in the oats and raisins.

  4. 4

    Rest the dough for 10 minutes so the oats soak up some moisture.

  6. 6

    Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until the edges are golden but the centres still look soft.
