If you’re looking for a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make treat, these vegan oat flour cookies with chocolate chips are perfect! Made without refined flour or animal products, these cookies are full of wholesome ingredients and naturally gluten-free if you use certified gluten-free oats. Here’s a simple recipe to enjoy these chewy and satisfying cookies.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups oat flour (you can make your own by blending rolled oats into a fine powder)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted) or any neutral vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons almond butter or any nut/seed butter
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (or chopped dark chocolate)
- 1-2 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Step 3: Combine the Wet Ingredients
- In a separate bowl, mix the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond butter until smooth and well combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir well until a thick dough forms.
- If the dough is too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of plant-based milk to reach the desired consistency. The dough should be soft but not too sticky.
Step 5: Add the Chocolate Chips
- Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 6: Shape the Cookies
- Scoop about 1-2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it on the prepared baking sheet and flatten slightly with your hand or a fork. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
