    Calling all chocolate chip cookie lovers! These easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are here to make your vegan cookie dreams come true! They have the perfect marriage of crunchy outer and soft insides, and have the wholesomeness of oats and the indulgence of yummy chocolate chips.

    Best of all? These vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies come together in just one bowl! In fact, if you choose to ignore the chilling time (which you totally can, you just end up with a crunchier cookie) they only take 7 minutes to mix and 15 to bake. So you can have the cookies you crave in less than half an hour! (P.S. if you love oatmeal cookies, you're also going to want to try our other cookie fave Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookies )

    🍪Key Cookie Ingredients

    These yummy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are made with simple ingredients, so you can eat as many as you like (within reason!)

    1. Chocolate Chips- I chose vegan dark chocolate chips for these cookies. But choose your favourite vegan choc chips. Or chop up your favourite chocolate bar into chunks for a rustic and even chocolatier cookie.
    2. Oatmeal- You can choose chunkier rolled oats, or finer oats. It doesn't really matter, they'll taste great either way
    3. Brown Sugar- I like to use a simple soft brown sugar. You can substitute with other sugars if you prefer.
    4. Plain (all purpose) flour- You can also choose wholemeal, spelt or gluten free flour if you wish!
    5. Linseed/Flaxseed- this is the egg substitute and helps to bind. Also a great source of Omegas! Grind your own, or buy pre-milled.
    6. Seeds or nuts. I made these with pumpkin seeds, but they also taste great with chopped nuts or sunflower seeds. Or just add some extra chocolate chips. We won't tell!

    ❓FAQ

    These are the most common questions and our best tips for making these yummy vegan chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. If you have a question, do leave it in the comments below and we can help you out!

    Which is the best oatmeal to use for these cookies?

    I used a simple steel cut oats, however rolled oats, or any of your favourite oats will work. How large they are will affect the texture, but they will still taste great!

    How long will these vegan cookies last once baked?

    Put these cookies into an airtight container and they will stay fresh for up to 14 days or longer.

    Can I freeze the cookie mixture?

    Absolutely! You could freeze it all in one batch, in which case you will need to use it all once unfrozen. Or freeze in spoonfuls, then pop into a box or freezer bag, and just bake what you need, as you want them. There is nothing nicer than a freshly baked cookie!

    Can I freeze the baked cookies?

    Yes! They will freeze well. Just thaw out as needed. Or pop in the oven for a few minutes for that freshly baked taste!

    Are these cookies gluten-free?

    If you want to make these cookies gluten-free, choose gluten-free flour and gluten-free oats.
