Vegan cookies anyone? Count me in!
I am always down for a cookie, especially when it is chocolate chip! These vegan chocolate chip cookies are irresistibly gooey, chewy, and oh-so satisfying! You may be curious as to how these delectable treats can be both indulgent and healthy. Well, let me enlighten you!
Crafted with a delectable blend of oats, coconut sugar, unsweetened coconut, and dark chocolate chips, these cookies offer a guilt-free delight. The coconut sugar contains inulin, a beneficial fiber and prebiotic, making it a complex carbohydrate that leads to a gradual rise in blood sugar levels when consumed. Meanwhile, the fiber-rich unsweetened coconut chips contribute to keeping you satiated for longer periods. And let’s not forget the dark chocolate chips, bursting with antioxidants, specifically flavanols, renowned for their anti-inflammatory properties and the enhancement of immune system functions.
Moreover, these flavanols work their magic by expanding arteries, resulting in reduced blood pressure. Remember, moderation is key in all pleasures. Anything, even the most delightful of treats, should be savored in moderation.
I hope you love this vegan chocolate chip cookie recipe! If you make it be sure to leave a comment and a rating. Your feedback helps me create more of what YOU love!

Ingredient
-
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
-
3 tablespoons room temperature water
-
1/4 cup melted and cooled coconut oil*
-
1/2 cup coconut sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
3/4 cup gluten free oat flour
-
1/2 cup gluten free rolled oats
-
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (do not use big coconut flakes)
-
½ teaspoon baking soda
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, mix together flaxseed meal and water, let it sit for 5 minutes while you get all your other ingredients ready. After 5 minutes the ‘flaxegg’ will be ready and you can add the melted and cooled coconut oil, coconut sugar and vanilla extract to the bowl; whisk together until smooth.
-
Next add in the oat flour, rolled oats, shredded coconut, baking soda and salt. Mix until well combined. Fold in chocolate chips.
-
Use a medium cookie scoop and place about 1 heaping tablespoon dough on prepared baking sheet, about 2 inches apart. You should get 10 cookies. If you want thicker cookies, leave as is. If you want slightly thinner cookies, very gently push ONLY the top of the cookie down just a very tiny bit. Don’t overdo it — these are vegan cookies and we want them to stick together!
-
Bake cookies for 9-12 minutes until edges are just slightly golden brown. Once cookies come out of oven, sprinkle the tops with fancy sea salt.
-
Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 10-15 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Leaving them on the baking sheet will help them settle up and hold together.
