Gluten Free Vegan Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (V, GF): an easy recipe for simply delicious, soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies made with oat flour. Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Oat Flour.
When I was a little kid, I would get into all kinds of trouble. In fact, my mom used to (okay, still) calls me “troublemaker.” I used to totally get offended by this—especially as I grew older and was very determined to make less trouble. But then I started hearing her call her grandson, Dylan, “troublemaker” over and over again. Then, smothering him in all the kisses and hugs.
While he kinda is a troublemaker (facts are facts), I felt much better about being labeled that way. Perhaps she called/calls me this because she loves me (duh). Better yet, she calls me a troublemaker because she simply loves trouble. 😉
If I could tell you all about the mischief my mom gets into with her very curious mind, she might actually start insisting on “proofreading” (i.e. censoring) all of my posts. So let’s just leave it at that. Also, between you and me, I’ll be spilling the beans on her shenanigans a few posts down the line. Ahem. 😉
Anywho, what and how does this relate to gluten free vegan oat flour chocolate chip cookies? Besides the very obvious fact that the length of this recipe title is a bit of trouble in and of itself? Heh heh. Well… when I was a wee one, I would get into all kinds of trouble when it came to food. Okay, fine, by “food” I really mean COOKIES!! Specifically, chocolate chip cookies. Who is even surprised by that?
Anyway, when I was about 7 years old, I loved ice cream and cookies. But if those two could be combined, then it was basically my birthday. So when I tried my first scoop of cookie dough ice cream, I was in heaven. Nothing could be better.
Except maybe an ice cream birthday party with a bouncy house and a pizza buffet. With balloons and Sailor Moon sticker goodie bags. Of course.
After eating countless bowls of cookie dough ice cream, I started to think. <–Cue the “Uh-oh!!” My mom’s resident troublemaker was on the loose! I thought, if these little chunks of yumminess were really cookie dough… then they could be baked, right?
So while my mom was busy washing/folding clothes/working/being a supermom, I decided to sneak into the freezer for an innocent bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. I scooped the most ice cream I thought I could get away with experimenting without anyone noticing… then got to work.
I used my sparkly purple plastic bowl to hold the ice cream. Then, I grabbed my yellow daisy cup to hold my findings. One by one, I plucked out little bits of cookie dough. I kept at it for what felt like 3 whole days (adult time: 15 minutes). After I was done harvesting all the tasty cookie dough bits, I “smartly” and thoughtfully put the vanilla ice cream back into the carton.
I turned on the mini toaster oven, put a sheet of foil onto the baking sheet, and carefully put each tasty cookie morsel onto the sheet. Spaced evenly apart, of course. 😉 After about 500 hours (real adult time: 6 minutes), I knew the cookies were ready.
The whole kitchen smelled like fresh baked chocolate chip cookies. I was beside myself with excitement! This would be my very first batch of homemade cookies, EVER!! I couldn’t wait to show my mom. I put oven mitts on, slowly opened the toaster oven, and peeped inside.
What did I find but 23 super mini chocolate chip cookies. All puffed up, with teeny, tiny mini chips… all ready for my dolls (and me) to eat. Sure, most of them were burned, but the ones that weren’t were just perfect. Better than the cookies in my favorite book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie!
I ran to my toy box and rooted around until I found this miniature metal spatula my mom got me in this baking set. I ran back into the kitchen and gently lifted each tiny chocolate chip cookie onto a plate from the plastic rose tea set my mom got me for my birthday.
I walked slowly for about 2 weeks (real adult time: 8 minutes) to the living room and showed my mom what I did. I was covered in head to toe in mini chocolate chips, my hands and face were sticky with vanilla ice cream. And of course, I forgot to comb my hair that morning. But I still smiled brightly, I beamed when I showed my mom what I made.
And you know what she said?
“Come here, my little troublemaker!!! What trouble did you make.”
Then she smothered me in all the kisses and hugs. 🙂
Just a week ago, I made these for my mom and I could just tell it was on the tip of her tongue to ask me what her little troublemaker had made. But then Dylan aka “PB” dropped something with a clang and her attention was quickly averted to the new troublemaker. 😉 Thanks, PB! I knew you had my back!
I hope you get to try this recipe with your little one, or your momma, and you two get into all the trouble creating/making/enjoying mischief that obviously comes with chocolate chip cookies. 🙂 Heck, you can even skip the baking part and maybe roll up little balls of cookie dough to put into your ice cream…

Gluten Free Vegan Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (V, GF, Dairy-Free)
- Yield: 20-30 cookies 1x
Description
Gluten Free Vegan Oat Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (V, GF): an easy recipe for simply delicious, soft, chewy chocolate chip cookies made with oat flour. Vegan, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Oat Flour.
Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten free oat flour
- ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 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
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
Optional Topping
- ¼ cup 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: oat flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder 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, about 5 seconds.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Cover the bowl of cookie dough. Let sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature—this allows the dry mixture to absorb the wet mixture and become more cohesive.*
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons 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 9 minutes. Using a flat, heatproof spatula, carefully lift cookies off the baking sheet and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
Notes
Adapted from my Maple Pecan Chocolate Chip Cookies and my Cranberry Chocolate Chip Cookies.
*You can skip this step, but the dough is more likely to be too sticky to flatten with a fork. Also, the cookies are less likely to have a beautiful textured on top.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
These cookies freeze well. Store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container for 1-2 months. Allow to thaw at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. Or, heat in the microwave in 20-second increments until warm.

I made these! They turned out great. I also added toasted walnuts.
★★★★★
Wonderful! I’m so happy you enjoyed them, Kayla Noelle. 🙂 Oooh… the toasted walnuts must’ve been such a yummy addition!
Yum! Yum! Yum! The first time I made them: omitted vanilla extract, subbed maple syrup with 1/4 cup dry cane sugar, and put final mixture in fridge for about 5 minutes before rolling into balls. They turned out AMAZING! The second time I made them: omitted vanilla extract and chocolate chips, added about 1tbsp. cinnamon and 1/4 cup raisins, immediately rounded dough into balls then let rest in fridge for about 15 minutes. They turned out AMAZING-er! Super cinnamony which I like but others may decrease the amount if you try this idea.
Honestly, this will probably become my go-to cookie recipe because it is vegan and gluten-free and my body really appreciates the nutritional benefits. I will probably do some other flavor tweaks and comment on how those go.
I’m so happy to know that you’re enjoying the recipe so much! Thank you for taking the time to share with me. 🙂
Can you leave out the oat flour and use only rolled oats?
Hi Monica. I would not recommend leaving out the oat flour completely, as it would affect the final taste and texture of the cookies quite a bit. If you’re looking for a flourless chocolate cookie, you might enjoy my Simple & Easy No Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. Hope this helps! 🙂
Aloha Demeter xo Do cookies do ok in a toaster oven please? Mahalo
Hi Ellen! Hm, I haven’t tried these in a toaster oven so I can’t say for sure. I know that toaster oven baking can be pretty tricky for some folks, and it can require a bit of testing to get the bake time just right. I’d love to hear how it all turns out for you!
This sounds yummy and wonderful GF alternative without using potato starch etc. question: are the oats rolled or quick? Thanks! Will be trying these soon!
Hi Gertie! I use rolled oats in this recipe. Happy baking!
Love your chocolate chip cookie recipes , I’ve tried all of them except the thin and crispy …yet . thanks for sharing ! Also can I sub the pat flour for gluten free all purpose flour ?
Aww thanks Miriam! 😊 Thin and crispy are some of my all-time faves, so I can’t wait to hear what you think! As for the flour sub, I haven’t tried it myself so I can’t say for sure, and every brand of GF AP flour works a bit differently, but if you do try it let me know how it goes! 🙂
Wow! Tried these this morning and simply loved how easily they came together and now cleanly yummy they taste!
They did come out super cakey and soft which is the way I love them, but my partner appreciates a crisper, chewier cookie. How can I edit this recipe to get there? I did try increasing the baking time by 5 minutes but it didn’t nearly help enough.
Hi Nan!I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the cookies. 🙂 If you’re looking for a crispier cookie, I highly recommend you try my thin & crispy vegan chocolate chip cookies. They’re a fan-fave, and I think your partner will really enjoy them. Happy baking!
Hi, I’m anxious to try this recipe but have one question Can I use 1/2 c of coconut sugar instead of using the maple sugar?
Hi Susan, that might work, although I haven’t tried it so I can’t be sure. Let me know how it turns out if you try it. Good luck!
These came out delicious! I used an egg instead (did half a bach) also, I used mini chocolate chips. I found that they did spread though while in the oven although I did make mine extra large. Very yummy and sweet enough 🙂
★★★★★
I’m so happy you enjoyed the recipe Shira! 😊
just made these–super good! my mom wanted me to make use of the oat flour we got in a hurry from the store (they didnt have almond, so I thought how different could it be! lol) . She wanted me to make bars and i used your recipe as the base–one type with chocolate chips and the other without. i made pbj bars and chocolate chip bars with this! thank you for sharing, was super good. i used 1/2 a cup of maple syrup and no other sugar!
★★★★★
I’m so glad you enjoyed these!! Cookie bars to the rescue. 🙂 I love that you did a 50/50 split with chocolate chips and pbj combo. Yum!!! Happy eating! 🙂
These cookies are so simple and Turned out delicious 😄. I subbed the flax eggs for two actual eggs, used homemade oat flour, let the batter sit for 15 minutes, then baked for 9 min and they turned out pretty good 😄. Since I used homemade oat flour they are a bit more cake-like than cookie, but we quite enjoyed them. The only complaint my family and I have is that we have huge sweet tooth over here and these cookies are not too sweet. Which some people may like, but I think next time I will add a bit more sweetener to them. Thanks so much for the recipe! Will be making again 😄
★★★★
I’m so happy to hear that you and the fam enjoyed the cookies Kayla! 🙂
I dont keep flax seeds so is it ok to use eggs instead? Whats sub ratio?
Regular eggs should be fine at a 1:1 ratio, though I haven’t tried it myself. Let me know how it goes!
This recipe looks great! Thanks for sharing. 2 questions — 1) can I use regular eggs instead of flax eggs? and 2) can I use ghee if I don’t have coconut oil, and if so is the ratio 1:1?
Hi Sarah! Let’s see, 1) yep, that should be fine. 2) Hm, I haven’t tried it so I can’t say for sure how it would go or what the ratio would be. If you try it out, I’d love to know how they turn out. Happy baking! 🙂
Thank you for this recipe. 🙂 I invested in some oat flour recently. I don’t need to be gluten free but I have some celiac friends. I’ve got some delightfully good vegan chips and some coconut oil. Looks like the only thing I need to lay my hands on is some flax seeds. This recipe looks fantastic. And I truly enjoyed the story about the miniature chocolate chip cookies. That was a really great story. Blessings.
★★★★★
Thank you so much Betsy! . So happy you enjoyed the story and the cookies! Happy baking!
Hey Demeter!
I was looking for a healthy oat cookie recipe without the nasties and I found this.
My first attempt was great beyond words.
Loved the taste texture and overall appeal.
But the next time I tried it they were air bubbles, they spread out on the tray and we’re very soft and thin like pancakes. Can you help me with that?
Thanks
★★★★★
Hey Jumana! Hmm… I wonder if it could be a change in temperature? Was it much hotter in your kitchen the second time around? Or, did you roll the dough in your hands for awhile (which would heat them up) the second time, and maybe scoop them (thereby keeping them colder) the first time? Also, did you make sure to let the dough sit for 10-15 minutes before scooping? Hope this helps!
I had oat flour I had to use up so decided to try this recipe when I was searching for a healthy sweets. Honestly, I had zero expections it would turn this good. My husband who almost never likes any of the healthy sweet stuff said wow. Additionally, I can’t believe they are actually not bad for you (love that it has flaxseed) ! This is my go to recipe from now on which will be a staple so thank you so much. Next time I want to try to replace the chocolate chips for raisins for an even healthier cookies. WHOEVER IS READING YOU NEED TO TRY THIS RECIPE. YOU WONT REGRET IT I PROMISE YOU
★★★★★
Hi Gabrielle! Omigosh, your comment put such a great, big smile on my face. 🙂 Don’t you love it when anti-healthy sweet folks get on board? 😉 Thank you for taking the time to stop by & give your seal of approval! Happy baking!
Felt encouraged to try the recipe. My kids think anything healthy does not taste good, so dont try it! After reading ur comments will surely try it.
These cookies most definitely taste good, so I know they’ll love them Sun! 😊
Hi! I just made these, and they were delicious. I was too lazy to grind my oats, so I just used APF, but they still turned out great :0
★★★★★
So happy to hear it Joanna! Glad to know it worked with AP flour. .
Hi, I was wondering if I could use liquid stevia in place of the coconut sugar?
Hi Angelica! Unfortunately, that swap won’t work. You can use this sugar-free alternative instead, at a 1:1 ratio: Lakanto Monkfruit Natural Sugar Substitute. Let me know how it goes! 🙂
I just made them and instead of using flax eggs, I used regular, and I switched maple syrup for agave syrup and OMG extraordinary! Totally loved them complete success! Thank you so much for the recipe! Btw they were ready in 9 minutes as well.
Woohoo! I’m so happy you enjoyed them Ondina! Thanks for taking the time to let me know! .
Can you freeze this dough?
Hi Vic! Yes, that should be fine. 🙂
I made a batch today and they are delicious! Could you only do oat flour, though, or is the whole oat necessary? Someone I love doesn’t like the chunks of oats. Everyone else loved them!
Yay!! I’m so pleased to hear it, Stephanie! 🙂 Whole oats: you might be able to leave them out–just make sure to sub with a few extra tablespoons of oat flour to help absorb the wet ingredients (will probably take some experimentation). Good luck! Thank you for stopping by. 🙂
Hi, Just wondering if I could leave out the coconut oil or use something else.
Hi Avalon, try substituting with melted vegan butter or your favorite flavorless oil.
Thanks for developing a good base recipe. Hopefully it will still be amazing when I figure out the coconut substitutions. .
It is a little frustrating to have you refer to so many recipes with tree nut ingredients as, “allergy friendly,” carte blanche. I am sure that it is helpful for some allergies, like egg, milk, and wheat, but less so for tree nut allergies, which is a big one. .
I would love to see a few tree nut safe recipes sprinkled in (no nut flours, no coconut, no palm oil, no nut extracts or oils).
Thanks again for sharing.
★★★
I am not vegan, can I use 2 eggs instead? and I can’t find coconut sugar.. can I use honey?
I am trying to find a healthy cookie recipe that my kids (both) would love. My son eats anything, even my non sugar healthy cookies and cupcakes, my daughter wants butter lol
Hi Loris! You can swap the flax eggs here with two regular eggs. And for the coconut sugar, you can use organic brown sugar. Hope you and the kiddos enjoy the cookies!
Hi
can I use honey instead of coconut sugar? and how much?
Hi. I made this recipe a few times and each time the cookies looked great but the inside was kind of cakey, not chewy (yes, i did flatten) and the mouthfeel kinda sticks to the roof of my mouth. Any suggestions? I followed recipe exactly. Thanks for any help!
Hi Zarra! If you’re using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground. Coarse oat flour can definitely affect the texture. Hope this helps!
Hi. I’m using store bought oat flour. The cookies bake up with no spread (stay as balls) and the inside is cakey and sticks to roof of your mouth.
Yes, as you can see in the instructions, I mention that the cookies will NOT spread. As such, you need to flatten them with a fork to desired thickness.
agree
Hello, I would really love to make these for my boys, am searching gluten free as we have a recent celiac disease diagnosis. But one of my boys is also a Type 1 diabetic so I need to have carb count for everything he eats as well, would you happen to have the carb count for this recipe?
Thank you in advance.
Shawna
Hi Shawna, unfortunately I haven’t calculated this nutrition facts for these yet. I’m going to be slowly but surely adding those in the next few months. Thanks for your patience! .
I loved the plant based simplicity of your recipe and the pictures were great, so I use your recipe to make Indian Jeera Biscuits (basically just sub the chocolate chips for 1 tablespoon of roasted cumin). They taste wonderful, but the color came out much lighter than yours (11 minute bake time) and they’re a little too soft and chewy. Any suggestions on how to up the crunch?
★★★★
Hi Rishi! This recipe’s definitely more of a soft-baked cookie. You could try decreasing the temperature and baking much longer. Enjoy!
Hi, I just attempted to make these cookies
I waited 20 minutes because the dough was still very wet and added 2 extra spoons Oatflour.
When I put the cookies in the oven they immediately melted into a big square. Might still taste good but obviously not what I wanted.
I used 2 real medium sized eggs but other than that exactly followed the recipe..
any advice on how I could adjust the recipe?
Hi Nina! Sorry to hear about this. Did you use homemade oat flour, by chance?
These are delicious. I used real eggs and they turned out fantastic. I love that they have very little sugar in them and yet they are perfectly sweet. Thank you so much, I have tried many of your recipes with great success. Thank you for posting healthy recipes.
I’m so happy to hear that you loved these!! I really wanted to share a cookie with the smallest amount of sugar possible without sacrificing taste. I’m pleased as all get out that you enjoyed this and my other recipes. Thanks for stopping by! 🙂
I came here from ice cream sandwich post. My son can’t do eggs or any kind of seeds. Can you suggest how replace flax eggs?
Love this recipe- made it twice and had to sub mollasses in. If it still tasted amazing. Thank you for this keeper!
Pardon my typos in my previous comment! I meant to say I subbed mollasses and it worked great. I just love this recipe, thank you!
Hi Erin, no pardon necessary! I’ve typed many a typo in my day (aka today) haha. 😉 Such a great idea to use molasses! I’m so pleased to hear that you enjoyed my recipe. Happy baking!
These are so delicious. My daughter was the taste tester and she LOVES them. Thanks so much for brightening a gloomy, “there’s nothing good I can eat anymore”, winter Saturday afternoon here in Denmark. Better get back to baking another batch, these are going to disappear f.a.s.t!!!
★★★★★
Hi Lisa, I’m so happy to hear that! There’s really nothing quite like a fresh, home-baked good to brighten up a gloomy afternoon, is there? 🙂 It was such a treat to read your comment. Happy baking to you and your daughter! 🙂
I only got 6 cookies out of this recipe, what did I o wrong?
Hi Peggy, did you use a 2-tablespoon measuring scoop? And how did the texture of the cookies come out?
I used 2 tbsp, the cookies were huge. But the texture was fine and they tasted amazing.
That’s so odd! My cookies were medium-sized, they fit in my palm (and are actually smaller). Maybe the scoop was mislabeled? Try using your tablespoon measure to verify the volume in your scoop. Also, was the scoop rounded? That can lead to much larger cookies. Good luck! Glad to hear they tasted amazing! 🙂
Boston is cold, wet, and just plain miserable today and I really needed a little pick-me-up. I’ve been searching for a truly delicious GF chocolate chip cookie for ages and I finally found it! Soooo yummy. Can’t thank you enough!
★★★★★
Dawn, I feel you!!! I’m in Boston too and I’m SO over this weather! However, on the upside, it is actually sunny today, so hopefully that lasts. 😉 I’m so pleased to hear that you found exactly what you were looking for. Enjoy!
Hello! I’m going to try this recipe!!
I was wondering if I can replace the maple syrup? because I don’t have any liquid sweetener at the moment.
Hi Trinidad! Try subbing the maple syrup with more coconut sugar. Good luck!
I cooked them! I used only sugar and they’re absolutely delicious. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
★★★★★
Yay!!! So happy to hear they worked out. Thank you for reporting back! Hugs!
My son can’t eat peanut or almond butter. Substitutions?
Hi Jane! Perhaps you meant to leave this comment on a different recipe? This one doesn’t include peanut or almond butter. Usually, you can substitute with sunflower seed butter. 🙂
These look SOOO good! I love how oats are the only base, no processed/white flours!
★★★★★
They’re incredible! No processed stuff here! 🙂
I made these today and I placed M&M’s on the cookies for the kids, and put black walnuts in mine (my two toddlers don’t like walnuts yet). My food allergies make me feel deprived in the desert area so I love it when I find something this easy and fast! Best of all they tasted wonderful… so much better than anything you can buy in the store!
★★★★★
Hi Linda! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful comment. Words like yours motivate me to keep going. 🙂 It’s one of my biggest goals to make sure folks with food allergies do not feel deprived–so thank you for showing me it’s working! Btw, so clever of you to create a nutty version for yourself and a fun one for the kiddos. 🙂 Can’t wait to see what you try next!
Hi. What brand of peanut butter do you use?
Hi Sharon, I like to switch between Crazy Richard’s, Trader Joe’s brand, and Whole Foods brand PB. 🙂
Hi Demeter
I’m confused. Is there suppose to be peanut butter in this recipe? Thank you
Hi Tammy! No, this recipe doesn’t have any peanut butter in it. 🙂
Super easy recipe, and super yummy! My non-vegan, non-gluten free brother even loves them!!
Woohoo!!! I’m super happy that you enjoyed this recipe, Tate. 🙂 There’s nothing quite like convincing those who aren’t V+GF that V+GF treats are just as tasty! 😉 .
What brand of vegan chocolate chips do you like to use?
Hi Shannon, I get this question a lot, so here’s what I’ve answered before: I actually switch back and forth between tons of different vegan chocolates. Here are a few that I like, some that happen to be “accidentally” vegan and are totally affordable: Guittard Semisweet Chocolate Chips (or Extra Dark if you enjoy dark chocolate), Trader Joe’s Semisweet Chocolate Chips. But if you have a dairy allergy, I’d definitely recommend going for an allergy-friendly brand like Enjoy Life. Hope this helps! 🙂
Would it be possible to use regular eggs somehow?
Hi Rebecca, yes! Just use two regular room temperature eggs. 🙂 Enjoy!
cookies seems so crunchy and delicious, i will defiantly try this , thank you and lovely week ahead
Oh wow, Demeter, these cookies look absolutely scrumptious! They look so soft and chewy, and full of chocolate – just how chocolate chip cookies should be! Hope you’re having a fab week! xo
★★★★★
Thank you, Marsha! Hope you’re having a fab week too! xo
Hahaha I love how your younger trouble maker self thought! I was thinking you were going to say you tried to bake scoops of ice cream – but your younger self was one smart cookie – pun intended there! 🙂
For the record – trouble makers are a delightful bunch (I was and still am called one myself) – and speaking of delightful – these look amazingly scrumptious!
Hope you have a wonderful week Demeter xoxo
Lolol–of course we’re on the same wavelength–we’re both troublemakers, Shashi! 😉 🙂 Thanks so much! Have an awesome week, Shashi! 🙂
Best. BB Storytime. Ever. Because a) awwwwww b) I always wondered if that dough would really bake c) you had a yellow daisy cup which sounds mega cute d) trouble is what makes life fun, so I fully support the moral of this story! Also If You Give a Mouse A Cookie (and friends: moose + muffin, pig + pancake–I love the whole dang collection!) is my favorite children’s book of all time❤️ It makes me very happy to know that cookie dough bits do in fact have cookie-making power, but I think I might still need one or three of these full-size fluffyamazing oat flour choco-chip guys to go with the minis. Because they are killing it on the chunky-meets-chip-meltiness and just begging for a glass of milk on the side. Happy monday.. xo
Aw, I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Nat! <3 Haha. It totally baked like a real cookie! Also, I'm so missing that cup right now! And friends??? Tell me more! 😉 I just loved that book--could've read it a thousand times and it was still amazing. Chunky-meets-chip-meltiness <-- LOVE it!! Happy Monday my dear! xoxo
Demeter- These look fabulous! I am definitely going to be making these for my family! Question- I don’t usually like the texture that oats create in baked goods ( oat flour is fine!)- can I replace the rolled oats with more oat flour, or do the oats just disappear when baked?
Thanks!! And thanks for providing this GF, dairy free, refined sugar free, and egg allergic household with so many wonderful recipes- I love that my daughter never feels that she is deprived of treats due to her diet!!
Hi Jessica! Thank you so much! The oats basically just disappear–I had a few folks try them and not even notice the oats! But it’s really up to your personal preference. Maybe give them a try as is, then we can brainstorm a substitute if need be? 🙂
Aw, it’s my absolute pleasure! It warms my heart to know that your daughter no longer feels deprived of treats. My mom went through a similar phase–it felt like she couldn’t eat anything. Now she’s happy eating all the treats I bring over–so I’m going to tell her that another mother and daughter duo are figuring it out, just like we did. <3 Big hugs.
My dad used to call me a troublemaker!! Why am I not surprised AT ALL that we share this nickname? I mean BESTIES. Plus I swear we are sisters from another mister! 😉 And I’m totally NOT shocked about the food trouble-making you caused! I do seem to remember a story about candy and an Easter basket! bahahaha!! Anyways, I need to stop coming here before I eat, because I leave here drooling all over my keyboard and super hangry, D to the Meter! These cookies look INCREDIBLE!! I mean, who doesn’t love a classic CCC? But you went and jazzed it up in only that fabulous way my beaming baker can do! Gimme all da cookies! Pinned of course! Cheers, sweetie pie! xoxoxo
★★★★★
Oh wow!! Now it’s my turn: why am *I* not surprised that you were also called a troublemaker?? 😉 Besties, sisters from another mister–any way you look at it, we’re one set of kindred troublemakers! 😉 I just KNEW you were gonna bring up that Easter basket!! Hahaha. Thank you so much for your sweet words! Now come over here so I can make you a batch of white chocolate chip cookies. 😉 xoxoxo
These looks great! I love oat flour and use it everywhere, it works so well in cookies ! Flax eggs are my favorite vegan egg substitute !
Oat flour is the BEST!! So are flax eggs! Thank you, Patrick. 🙂
I can totally picture you as a cute little troublemaker kid, Demeter! 🙂 But that’s good, because you kept your mom on your toes, right? Never a dull a moment, and that’s how it should be! These cookies are calling my name! I need this entire batch, especially because it’s Monday, an Monday is, well, Monday haha. I love that this is made in just two bowls and with oat flour. You definitely can’t go wrong with chocolate chip cookies, and these look perfect! Pinned, of course! Hope your Monday is off to a great start!
Haha. I got into way too much trouble! (Turns out, my mom was right!) 😉 Yeah, dull moments just aren’t as fun. Monday–that’s all you have to say about that! Thank you for pinning. Have a wonderful week, Gayle. 🙂
