Saturdays are totally for baking, don’t you think? Back in the day, back before I had this blog, all I could think about during the work week was when I’d finally get to Saturday, when I could bake to my heart’s content.
And bake I did.
I’d bake 6-12 different cookie recipes, like I was baking-mad (is that a thing?), or like I was in some baking version of that Bradley Cooper movie with all the intensity. What was that movie called? You know the one I mean—the one where he’s all ultra-focused and super productive.
Like, imagine if I told you to bake chewy vegan trail mix cookies and plus healthy no bake peanut butter cup oat bars… all in one day. Okay, maybe you’re totally feelin’ this cookie schedule and like, “Gimme more, Coach!” In which case, wanna be friends? 🙂 And… have you thought about starting a food blog?
Anyway, the thing was, I built up all of this baking energy/passion throughout the week, while I was doing normal, boring work… and by the time the weekend hit, I was like, it’s time to let it all out. All out.
Now that I have a baking blog, I still have to fight the impulse to bake every Saturday. But if you’re in the same boat I was many years ago, and perhaps less intense about it, you might just love the baked treats I share on Saturdays. 🙂 At least I hope you do.

Recommended Tools for Best Vegan Gluten Free Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Chocolate: I often get emails from readers who have a hard time finding vegan chocolate chips or refined sugar free chocolate. <– Those are my favorites! If you use the refined sugar free chocolate, just make sure to chop it up before using. 🙂 And if you’re looking to cut down the amount of sugar in your recipe, try using these low carb chocolate chips.
- Gluten Free Oats & Oat Flour: I highly recommend buying this gluten free oat flour for the most finely ground oat flour. If making your own homemade oat flour, just make sure tovery finely grind it, then sift out grainy pieces to avoid making crumbly, unpleasant gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies.

Description
Gluten Free Vegan Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (V, GF, Dairy-Free): an easy recipe for soft, chewy oatmeal cookies bursting with chocolate chips and oats! Vegan, Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Whole Grain.
Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats, more below
- 1 cup gluten free oat flour – if using homemade: make sure it’s very finely ground, as coarse flour will result in crumbly cookies
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Add-in Ingredients
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips
- ½ cup gluten free rolled oats
Optional Topping
- 2 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs and vanilla. Whisk until thoroughly combined and resembles caramel.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Fold in Add-In ingredients: chocolate chips and oats.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a fork, flatten cookies into a round disc—they will not spread during baking. Optionally, press chocolate chips into the tops of the cookies.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes. Using a flat, heatproof spatula, carefully lift cookies off the baking sheet and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
