What’s your favorite dessert?
Please say it’s these Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
J/k! Obviously this recipe just came out, so it couldn’t be… or could it?!? Are you secretly the Flash? Did you already make these cookies before you even finished reading this sentence?
Okay, I have to stop watching The Flash so much.
To date, one of my favorite desserts of all time is cookies! Okay, fine, I also absolutely love ice cream, dessert bars (with peanut butter, and without—no, really), super moist muffins, candy, and milkshakes. And honestly, there are a few more desserts I could list, but then we’d be here all day. Instead of settled on the cozy couch, eating fresh-baked cookies.
Wait, what was I saying?
Right, COOKIES. Anyway,
cookies have become something of an obsession a tasty occupational specialty of mine. 😉 You might already know this from the deliciously long list of cookie recipes I’ve shared with you on Beaming Baker…
There’ve been peanut butter coconut cookies, inspirational trail mix cookies, peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, double chocolate cookies, brownie cookies (because how can you really choose between cookies and brownies anyway?), and even no bake peanut butter cookies.
Have you tried any of these cookies? And which one was your fave?
By far, my faves have been the oatmeal cookies—whether it’s the oatmeal raisin cookies or the oat flour chocolate chip cookies… or, oh you get what I mean.
I really try to work oatmeal, oat flour, or oats into ALL of my cookies (which is totally gonna come to a halt for my next project: paleo cookies, of course). The thing is, cookies with oats in them just turn out… chewier, softer, tastier, and just more…enjoyable.
As such, I hope you’re with me when I say that it’s high time to upgrade a reader favorite: my gluten free vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! As Erik says, “the only thing better than chocolate is double chocolate.” In this case, we might even have a bit more fun by simply saying the word “chocolate” twice.
Who’s vote is for calling these cookies gluten free chocolate chocolate chip oatmeal cookies?
Does that seem more chocolatey, for some reason? 😉

Here are a few items I used in today’s recipe. 🙂
OXO Mixing Bowls | Maple Syrup | Cooling Rack
2-Tablespoon Cookie Scoop | GF Rolled Oats (Bulk)
Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (V, GF, Dairy-Free)
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats, more below
- ¾ cup gluten free oat flour
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 flax eggs, 2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
Optional Topping
- 2 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs and vanilla. Whisk until thoroughly combined and resembles caramel.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Fold in chocolate chips and oats. The dough will be sticky.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork, flatten cookies into a round disc—they will not spread during baking. Optionally, press chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes. Mine took 10 minutes. Using a flat, heatproof spatula, carefully lift cookies off the baking sheet and transfer to a cooling rack. If cookies are too soft to lift, allow to set on cookie sheet for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
Notes
– Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
– Freezing instructions: store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container for up to 1-2 months. Allow to thaw at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before enjoying. Or, heat in the microwave in 15-second increments until warm.
– Nutrition Info: is an estimate based on 25 cookies and no optional topping chocolate chips used.

Hi Beaming Baker! I just want to share my experience making these cookies. Oh my goodness, so delicious! I tweaked the recipe a tiny bit–used 1/4 cup coconut oil and 2 tablespoons of unsalted pasture butter, plus partway into mixing I suddenly had a brainstorm and decided to spice them up like Mexican chocolate, adding cinnamon and a touch of cayenne pepper. It really worked nicely! Oh, and I used what I had on hand in terms of chocolate chips, resulting in about a half a cup mixed of semisweet dark chocolate chips, unsweetened dark chocolate chips, and carob chips. Yum! My only snafu was when I realized I had used a teaspoon instead of a half teaspoon when measuring baking soda and baking powder. Oops! The dry ingredients weren’t mixed yet so I quickly scooped up about a teaspoon worth from where the BS and BP landed and hoped for the best. Given they turned out so delicious, I feel lucky and relieved that my damage control method seems to have proved effective. Much appreciation for such an excellent recipe! I look forward to trying more of your creations. 🙂
Hi Rosemary! I loved reading about your experience trying out my recipe. 🙂 Oh my goodness, putting a Mexican hot chocolate twist on these sound amazing!! Um, GENIUS. I think we can both safely say you handled that baking snafu with grace. 😉 I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and share in your baking adventures with me. Looking forward to hearing more from you. 🙂
I am Whole Food Plant Based, is there anyway to make these without the oil? Perhaps applesauce?
Hi Julie, you can try the applesauce, but I’m unsure of the end result. It’ll probably be okay, but your cookies might end up a bit cakey & on the softer side. Perhaps use the applesauce as a sub and leave out a tablespoon or two? Good luck!
I’ve been going to make these for over a week, but just couldn’t get to it. Today I finally did. Honestly, I made them because I figured no one else would eat them and they would last a while. Wrong for sure. They are super easy, vegan (a plus to me, not so much my family), and honestly, so freaking good, I can’t even begin to describe. Ok, mine aren’t fully vegan, I substituted honey for maple syrup because my husband hates maple and if it had a tint of maple taste he wouldn’t eat them (hmmmm maybe next time? 🤭🤣). I also substituted powdered monk fruit for the coconut sugar because I didn’t have coconut sugar and God only knows if stores would have any, IF it were worth going to the store with the virus scare for such a thing. They are delicious. This is a keeper and I will be making them often, believe me. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Hi Pam! Omigosh, I totally LOL’d at “wrong for sure.” Heehee. Loved hearing about the subs and how they worked out. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by to let me know how it all turned out. Here’s to the next batch, possibly with a hint of maple? 😉 😀
I have made these twice! So easy and so good! They are so tender! Thanks again, Demeter! ♥️
YES!!!! You know I always love hearing which recipe you’ve tried!! (And I can’t wait to hear what you try next!!) I’m so happy you loved this one. 🙂 Big hugs to you, Michelle! .❤️
Hello! Can I disregard flax eggs?
Hi there! I would not recommend dropping them completely, as it would drastically alter the texture and stability of the cookies. You can swap it with a chia egg or regular egg though. Hope this helps!
I made these cookies for the first time today and they did not disappoint! They are so chocolatey, almost like brownies, but not too sweet. Thank you for the recipe!
Phew!! I’m so glad that you enjoyed them, Rebecca! 🙂 Love the comparison to brownies—who doesn’t want that? 🙂 Thanks for stopping by to let me know!
