Vegan Chocolate Chip Chewy Oatmeal Cookies easy recipe for chewy, dense chocolate chocolate oatmeal cookies made with chocolate and bursting with chocolate flavor and oats. Made with healthy, whole ingredients. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Whole Grain.

They taste like oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and brownies had a baby. They’re not super duper fudgy, just slightly so they’re moreso an cookie that has hints of fudgy brownie flavor. These cookies are far more firm than my beloved reader-fave double chocolate oatmeal cookies, which are on the softer side.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Chewy Oatmeal Cookies

Sometimes, I prefer to bake these for a couple of extra minutes to urge them nice and firm. Side note: are you curious about crispy oatmeal cookies? I’ve been fooling around with a couple of measurements and throwing around some ideas for an excellent crispy cookie, but that’s a completely new frontier here at BB.

In the meantime, I do know you’ll just love these Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Chewy Oatmeal Cookies!

INGREDIENTS :

Wet Ingredients:

¼ cup melted coconut oil
½ cup unsalted, natural creamy almond butter
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons warm water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients:

2 cups gluten free rolled oats
½ cup gluten free oat flour – if using homemade, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)
¼ cup + 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
1 cup vegan chocolate chips

Optional Topping:

2–3 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS :

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: coconut oil, almond butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs and vanilla.
In a large bowl, using a rubber spatula, stir together all of the dry ingredients until well-mixed: oats, oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture. Using the spatula, fold and stir until well mixed. Fold in chocolate chips.
Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared cookie sheet, spread evenly apart. Optionally, press chocolate chips into the tops of cookies. Using a fork, flatten to desired thickness—they will only spread a tiny bit. Cookie dough will be sticky.
Bake for 12-16 minutes. Mine took 14 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the cookie sheet for about 10 minutes (on a cooling rack). Transfer cookies directly onto a cooling rack to cool completely before storing. Storing instructions below. Enjoy!
