Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

These delicious vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are so easy to make! They only use one bowl, and you can make a batch in just 25 minutes!

They have a soft yet chewy texture from the oats and a chocolatey, caramel flavor from the chocolate chips and coconut sugar.

Ingredients Notes

• Vegan butter: Use a good quality vegan butter brand!
• Coconut sugar: It’s a no-refined sugar and adds a distinctive caramel flavor! You can swap this for a half-and-half mix of soft, light brown sugar and granulated sugar.
• Vanilla: High-quality vanilla makes the difference! Avoid vanilla aromas and use either a pure vanilla extract or a vanilla bean paste.
• Flour: Use all-purpose flour, also known as plain flour. If you follow a gluten-free diet, look for gluten-free baking flour.
• Baking powder: This will help leaven the cookies
• Baking soda: This also acts as a leavening agent counteracting the slight acidity in the coconut sugar. You can replace this with double the amount of baking powder, but I prefer it with both!
• Chocolate chips: Use your favorite chocolate chip. I recommend either dark or semi-sweet!
• Oats: Make sure to use rolled oats, also known as old fashion oats.
• Salt: A pinch of salt enhances the overall flavor.
