Drizzled Chocolate Walnut Oat Flour Cookies (V, GF, DF): an easy recipe for decadent, double chocolate oat flour cookies soft-baked to perfection. Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy-Free, Whole Grain.

It’s almost Valentine’s Day!! Can you believe?? Are you a fan? A foe? A… “Meh, who cares, it’s not really a holiday” type of person?

However you feel about Valentine’s Day, it’s hard to deny the allure of… CHOCOLATE. Sure, it’s kind of a greeting card company holiday, it’s totally wayyyy too much pressure to be meaningful and sweet and also be in the mood to receive said meaningful and sweet gestures… but it’s also a most fantastic chance to enjoy CHOCOLATE!!

What better excuse do ya need?

Oh okay, here’s one more excuse: these Drizzled Chocolate Walnut Oat Flour Cookies. Oh YES.

A few years back, when Erik and I were first dating, we made a big whoop out of Valentine’s Day. What can I say, that’s when we had more energy and such. I remember during one of our first V-Days, I pulled out all the stops.

You might be a bit surprised, but I actually make savory things in my kitchen. Shocker!!! 😉 Yep, I even own pots and pans that are dedicated to savory cooking. Now now, don’t be afraid, I didn’t mean to scare you with this knowledge. I am more than the beaming baker. I am also a person who enjoys food. And LOTS of it. Be it salty, sweet, spicy (oh, that’s a big one for me), and crunchy! As for interests outside of food… meh. Those don’t really matter, right?

😉

Just kidding! But anyway, as I was saying, Erik and I pulled out all the stops back in the day—make that the savory day. I called my mom and told her I wanted to make her famous curry, so how would I go about that? She rattled off something about how she never writes recipes down, how she likes to toss in a dash of this and a dash of that… and oh, wait a minute, add two cups of this, three cups of that, and make sure you completely caramelize the sweet potatoes, and don’t forget to add in extra tofu!! And, why don’t I come over and just make it for you?? Why don’t I make some mushroom soup, spring rolls and lemongrass tofu, too?? Have you eaten yet? Are you sure?? You get too skinny when you’re living by yourself!!

My mom, folks. Could I be any luckier? ❤️

After somehow jotting down the recipe, I promised my mom I’d be home to visit soon and, yes, could you please make extra lemongrass tofu? And maybe I can do two loads of laundry while I’m home and yes, I love you, too. I got off the phone and went to work!

Little did I know, at this exact moment, Erik was racing across town, picking up all kinds of treats. At 8 o’clock that night (my goodness did we eat late when we were youngins’), Erik walked through the door, his hands full of two deep dish pizzas, garlic bread, a wrapped gift and a neon green and pink paper rose clamped down in his mouth. Covered in sweat and totally frantic, of course.

I came out of the kitchen, hair flattened completely to one side of my head in the outline of a phone (courtesy of the one-hour convo I had with my mom about the super “quick” recipe), curry all over me, and a big loaf of bread baking in the oven.

Me: “Whatcha got there?”

Erik: “I…” *wheezing* “Got…”

Me: “Here, let me help you.”

E: “Dinner. Happy Valentine’s…” *wheezing* “Day. My love!”

Me: “Sit down, you look like you’re gonna faint!! Also… I made dinner!!”

E: “Oh, crap!”

Me: “What a lovely Valentine’s Day sentiment!”

E: “It’s just–now we have two dinners!”

He immediately turns bright red, and I just hug him. The big oaf. After all, what could be more perfect than not one, but two amazing dinners for Valentine’s Day?

We lay out a huge blanket on the living room floor and set up the goodies he brought, plus my mom’s curry. We have this big, lovely picnic while he tells me all about how long it took to decide which craft to make before he finally landed on the paper rose. It’s a project from the Instructables book I got him on our third (or fifth, who can remember) date.

I eat the pizza and he eats the curry. It was one of the most fun V-Days I’ve ever had. Which reminds me… I’ve got to call my mom for another “quick” recipe for this year’s V-Day. Might as well pull out all the stops this year. Oh, and ask her to make another big batch of lemongrass tofu, for old time’s sake. 😉

This year, I hope you and your loved ones have an amazing Valentine’s Day. And if you’re not celebrating, who cares, let’s eat all the chocolate. Together! 🙂 Or, we could all enjoy a fresh pot of tea and some of these wonderful Gluten Free Russian Tea Cookies from Fearless Dining! Just be sure to use dairy-free butter and organic powdered sugar to make them vegan. 🙂 Either way, these Drizzled Chocolate Walnut Oat Flour Cookies are just one more reason to get your chocolate on this weekend.
