Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 15 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (dairy-free)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of gluten-free oats, 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are well mixed.
- In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of maple syrup, 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until everything is fully combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold together well.
- Fold in 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips (dairy-free) into the cookie dough until evenly distributed.
- Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie as they will spread slightly while baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Vegan Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies with a glass of plant-based milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for high-quality maple syrup and dark chocolate chips. Dairy-free options are widely available and will keep your cookies vegan-friendly.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until everything is incorporated. Overmixing can lead to denser cookies.
- Adjust the Sweetness: If you prefer your cookies a bit sweeter, feel free to add a tablespoon or two of coconut sugar or increase the amount of maple syrup slightly.
- Experiment with Add-ins: Feel free to customize your cookies by adding nuts, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra flavor boost!
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges but may appear a bit soft in the center. They’ll firm up as they cool.
- Storage: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer-lasting enjoyment!
