Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies

Close-up vegan chocolate chip cookie with salt.

Chocolate chip cookies are a breeze to make with this easy, gluten-free, nut-free vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe. 

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of flax meal (ground flaxseed)
  • 6 tablespoons room temperature water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 
  • Make the flax egg. Mix the 2 tablespoons of ground flaxseed with the 6 tablespoons of water. Stir and let sit for about 5 minutes. 
  • Melt the coconut oil over low heat or on the “melt” setting in your microwave. Ensure not to overcook the oil (take it out when you can see the last piece of “solid” disappear.
  • Sift the oat flour, coconut sugar, baking soda and salt together.
  • In separate bowl mix the flaxegg, slightly cooled (but still liquid) coconut oil and vanilla. Whisk well. 
  • Slowly add the liquid to the dry ingredients. I prefer to add about 1/3 of the liquid, then mix, another third then mix etc. 
  • Add in the chocolate chips. 
  • Use a small melon ball scooper to make the cookies. If you don’t have a melon ball scooper, use about 2 teaspoons of dough per ball. 
  • Flatten each ball slightly. 
  • Bake cookies for 10 minutes. Allow to cook for about 15 minutes on a baking sheet before serving. 

Notes

  • If you want to egg whites, I am sure you can but note that I have not tested these with regular egg. 
  • If you want a slightly doughier cookie, you can add another 1/4 cup of oat flour, but it will take a bit of hard stirring to incorporate the flour. I have tried it this way and it will incorporate.
