I have used these easily available ingredients which you may buy from any local grocery store. However, I have provided links to few of them here for your convenience.

Ingredients notes:
Oats – I used old fashioned rolled oats which works great here. It gives a nice chewy texture to these cookies. You may use quick oats as well but not steel cut oats.
Oat flour – you may use a store bought one or grind your own. If you want to use your homemade one then simply add 1 ¼ cup oats in the food processor and grind until fine powdered form. Measure it again to 1 cup and use it in this vegan chocolate oatmeal cookies.
Hempseeds – even though this is optional but a little bit of this adds more nutrition which makes it perfect for kids. Its high in fiber and rich in protein too.
Flaxmeal – make sure to soak it well. It’s a great egg replacer and adds healthy fats here. You may substitute it with 2 tsp chia seeds soaked in 6 tbsp water as well. However, flaxmeal works the best here.
Maple syrup – it’s a healthier sweetener and adds a nice color as well to these eggless oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.
Chocolate chips – I used mini dairy free chips. If you plan to use the regular sized ones then measure it up to ½ cup.

How to make Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Firstly, I combined oats, oat flour, baking powder, salt and hempseeds in a bowl and mixed it well with a spoon. Then, I kept it aside.
Secondly, I soaked flaxmeal in a mixing bowl for 5 minutes or until it was thick jelly like consistency.
Next, I whipped in maple syrup and vanilla extract with a spoon.
Thereafter, I folded in dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and made a dough like batter.
Afterwards, I tossed in chocolate chips to it and folded in with a spatula.
Then, with the help of a cookie scoop I placed 14 round cookies on a large cookie sheet that was covered with parchment paper.
Later, with the back of a cup or a bowl (1/4 measuring cup), I gently pressed each of them from the center).
Then, I placed the sheet in the middle rack of the oven and baked for 25 minutes. For crispier version you may bake upto 30 minutes.
Once done, I turned off the oven and took it out and placed it on a flat surface.
We were craving so much since my whole house was so aromatic with this baking that we immediately grabbed hot cookies and ate them.
However, I would highly recommend to let them cool down a bit and then enjoy!!!!
I have baked so many batches of this already and every time they vanish the same day.
But I am definitely planning to make bigger batches and hide them for school days.
Expert tips:
- Soak flaxmeal before starting the recipe so that by the time you are ready to whip up the batter it has the right consistency.
- For a quick soaking you may soak flaxmeal in 1/2cup warm water and stir it continuously until it becomes thick jelly like.
- I prefer using my ¼ cup size measuring cup to flatten the cookies. This way they cook well through inside and are crispier on the outside also.
- For even baking it is important to bring all the ingredients to room temperature before starting this recipe.
Store them for 1 week at room temperature or refrigerate them for about 3 weeks. Later microwave for 5-10 seconds or re-bake them for 5 minutes or toast them in toaster over for 2-3 minutes.
Yes, these are freezer friendly. Let them cool down completely at room temperature and then freeze them in Ziploc bags for 1-2 months. Simply re-bake them for 10 minutes when ready.
Yes! I made them oil free and processed sugar free. Moreover, I added hempseeds for protein and flaxmeal for healthy fats. Also, I used a combination of rolled oats and oat flour which is a complex carbohydrate and packed with iron. These have chocolate chips to make it tastier and fancy though. Overall, these can be enjoyed often and by all ages.
