Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 22 mins
Cuisine: Vegan
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together until well mixed and any lumps are broken up.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil until it becomes liquid. Add maple syrup and vanilla extract to the melted coconut oil, stirring until completely combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly using a spatula or wooden spoon until a cohesive dough forms.
- Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips, distributing them evenly throughout the cookie dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded portions of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Gently flatten each cookie with the back of a spoon or your fingers, as these cookies will not spread much during baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for better dough consistency
- For extra crunch, toast your oats lightly before mixing
- Ensure your coconut oil is completely melted but not hot when mixing
- Don't overmix the dough to keep cookies tender
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform cookie sizes
- For a more intense chocolate flavor, try dark dairy-free chocolate chips
- If the dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of plant-based milk
- Let cookies cool completely to achieve the perfect texture
- For variation, add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the mix
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness
