These are the BEST Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-free) of your dreams! These are oil-free, 1 bowl and made with just 8 easy ingredients and nobody will be asking where is the butter or oil!

VEGAN OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Nothing beats childhood classic cookies like oatmeal cookies, right? I made a ton of oatmeal cookies back in the day and even baked them as a kid. I still have a recipe written from when I was really young making those cookies. Of course, they were not vegan or gluten-free, or butter/oil-free for that matter.

I love oatmeal cookies of all kinds, too. Like these Chai Coconut Oatmeal Cookies. Those are simply incredible.

I’ve received many requests for Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Bonus that these are gluten-free and oil-free. While I do have some oatmeal raisin ones here on the blog, those are made with oat flour and starch. Also, the cookies that get the MOST remakes here are always the ones made with almond flour. You all have simply shown me how much you dig cookies made with almond flour, so this was the perfect opportunity to make these cookies with them.

INGREDIENTS NEED

You will need the following 8 ingredients for these vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (+salt) and 1 bowl:

almond flour

rolled oats (NOT instant)

baking powder

roasted super creamy almond butter

6 tablespoons (120g) pure maple syrup (agave would work too)

1 1/2 teaspoons (8g) vanilla extract

dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips

milk or coffee or water

HOW TO MAKE VEGAN OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Step 1: First, to a large bowl, add the almond flour, oats, baking powder and salt and whisk well. To the same bowl, add the almond butter, syrup, vanilla and chocolate chips.

Step 2: Mix all of the ingredients until a very thick and sticky, cohesive batter forms. Just keep stirring and pressing the batter together with the back of a spoon. Now, taste the batter. Yeah, I know.

Step 3: Using about 2 tablespoons worth of dough, form smooth round balls with your hands. The batter will be sticky but you should be able to roll into balls.

Place them on the pan 2 inches apart. I did 8 on each sheet. Press each cookie down to about 1/4 inch thick, making sure to press and seal the edges into a round shape so they bake up uniform.

Step 4: Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes.

SUBSTITUTIONS

These Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies are made with just 1 flour, but here are some other substitutions suggested if they don’t fit into your diet.

Can’t do almond flour? Make these Oatmeal Raisin Cookies instead and add chocolate chips in place of the raisins. OR, you can try grinding up raw sunflower seeds into a fine powder and use the same weight amount as the almond flour.

No. If you do, they will be dry as dirt. The almond flour (and almond butter) help to make these so moist and buttery. Remember, they are oil-free, so the almond flour is amazing here.
