Perfectly sweet and super chewy, these vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are made with just 3 healthy ingredients! They’re gluten free and totally fruit sweetened.
Cookies can be controversial. Are you team soft and gooey, team chewy, or team crunchy? If I HAVE to pick just one kind, I’m team soft and gooey, all the way.
But honestly, I think there’s plenty of room in the cookie jar for all different types of cookies. Growing up I was pretty in love with oreos (which are vegan!), and you really can’t go wrong with a super chewy, sweet cookie.
Today, we’re talking about some super chewy cookies. While I love a gooey, soft, rich cookie, there’s something so satisfying about a really chewy cookie full of amazing, oat-y texture. These vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are everything you want in a chewy sweet treat, and you only need three ingredients.
Ingredients for vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies
- Rolled oats: you’ll leave some of the oats whole for great chewy texture and blend some to flour consistency, which helps hold the cookies together.
- Medjool dates: you’ll blend the dates with hot water to make a paste, which gives the cookie dough natural sweetness.
- Vegan chocolate chips: I love PASCHA unsweetened chips or Lily’s stevia-sweetened chips. Use whatever vegan chocolate chips you like.
Tips for making vegan oatmeal chocolate chip oatmeal cookies
- Let the cookies cool after baking. Let the cookies cool and firm up for 15 minutes after baking before carefully removing them from the pan.
These vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are sweet and SO wonderfully chewy from the whole oats and oat flour. Each bite is bursting with rich, dark chocolate chips, and the combination of it all is a total cookie dream. Three healthy ingredients have never tasted so damn good.
