    🍪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 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!

    👩‍🍳How To Make

    Head to the recipe card below for the full low-down on how to make these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal cookies. These handy how-to images will help you prepare the cookies, all in one bowl!

    1. Mix up the milled flaxseed/linseed with some water and leave to expand- this makes it into a gel that ensures your cookies will stay together.

    2. In a bowl, add the sugar, oil, cinnamon and vanilla and mix well to combine.

    Adding in the linseed/flaxseed mixture to the liquid.
    Adding the flour into the bowl

    3. Add in the flaxseed/linseed mixture to the sugar mix and mix well to combine.

    4. Then to the bowl, add in the flour, salt and baking powder and mix gently.

    Add in the seeds or nuts to the oatmeal cookie mixture.
    Mix the chocolate chip cookie dough well until combined and is a slightly sticky mixture.

    5. Add in the oats, chocolate chips and pumpkin seeds or nuts if you are using them.

    6.Mix well until the cookie dough is combined and is a slightly sticky mixture

    • If you want chewier cookies, put the cookie dough into the fridge for 15 minutes to cool.
    • Finally. using a spoon, plop out spoonfuls of the cookie mix onto a cookie sheet and bake for 15 minutes.

    🥫Storage

    Keep these cookies in an airtight container for up to a month.

    Alternatively, for a delicious fresh-baked cookie, put spoonfuls of the uncooked cookie dough onto a baking sheet and put it in the freezer. Once frozen store in freezer bags, then pull out one or two as needed and bake. You could even use your air fryer to bake one or two at a time.

    🥥Variations and Substitutions

    Use the basic method for these chocolate chip cookies and switch up the flavours. Add as many as you dare.

    1. Gluten-Free- use gluten-free flour in place of wheat flour.
    2. Coconut Flakes or Desiccated Coconut: for a tropical vibe
    3. White Chocolate chips - check they're vegan to keep this vegan.
    4. Craisins, raisins, other dried fruit
    5. Other types of nuts, pine nuts, walnuts, doughnuts (just kidding, not doughnuts)

    ❓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.

    Equipment

    • 2 Baking Sheets

    Ingredients Note:

    For accuracy, I measure all ingredients in metric as standard, then convert and test the recipe for American cup measurements etc.

    (Heads up Aussie and UK readers- your measurements in cups are sometimes different, so please use metric or check you have the correct cup and spoon type!!)

    Ingredients

    • 150 g (⅔ cups) brown sugar
    • 125 g (1 cups) plain flour (all purpose flour)
    • 150 g (1 ½ cups) oats (rolled or steel cut)
    • 125 ml (½ cups) vegetable oil
    • 3 tablespoon milled linseed (also known as flaxseed)
    • 9 tablespoon water (this gets mixed with the milled linseed)
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • 100 g (1 cups) vegan chocolate chips
    • 50 g pumpkin seeds (or nuts or sunflower seeds)
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder

    Instructions

    • Add the water to the milled flaxseed/linseed and leave it to plump up
    • In a large bowl, add the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and oil and mix well.
    • Now add in the milled linseed/water mixture and mix well.
    • Add the flour, salt, baking powder and mix well.
    • Add in the oats and mix well.
    • Now add in the chocolate chips, seeds or nuts and mix.
    • If you want chewier cookies, put the mixture into the fridge for 15mins-30mins to cool down. If you prefer a crunchier slightly flatter cookie, cook straight away!
    • Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4.
    • Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
    • Put out tablespoons of mixture into vaguely round shapes onto the baking sheets. 8 cookies per sheet.
    • Bake for between 12-15 minutes (depending on your oven! You might need to swap the sheets around half way).
    • Cookies are ready when they are gently brown. Let cool a bit before eating!
