Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies!
These Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies are my new favourite cookie. They are so soft and moist and are the perfect chocolate chip cookie remake. These cookies are made into a healthier version and include many nutrient-dense ingredients. I added flax seed, almond butter, and coconut oil for healthy fats and some extra protein. These are sweetened only with dates, which are also nutritious and include added fibre. These cookies are not only vegan but also gluten-free and refined sugar-free.
They’re super easy to make and store perfectly in the freezer. I like to make a double batch so I have lots of cookies on hand for the next few weeks ahead!
FYI – these cookies are also great with chopped almonds added in!
Happy baking!

Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 flax egg 1 tablespoon ground flax and 3 tablespoons water
- 3/4 cup oat flour
- 1 1/2 oats
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup dates pitted
- 2/3 cup water
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet.
- Prepare the flax egg by mixing 1 tablespoon of ground flax and 3 tablespoons of water together in a small bowl. Set aside to thicken for about 10 minutes while you prepare the rest of the dough.
- Add the oat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
- Blend the pitted dates and water together until you reach a thick and smooth consistency. Add the date mixture, apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, almond butter, and prepared flax egg to the large bowl. Stir until fully combined.
- Add the chocolate chunks and stir again.
- Roll the dough mixture into 14 even-sized balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet. Flatten each cookie slightly with the palm of your hand (the cookies will not spread out much during baking).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 9-11 minutes. Let cool before serving. Store in the fridge or freezer and thaw before serving.
