What You’ll Need (Ingredients)
To create these delightful cookies, gather the following ingredients:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
Step-by-Step Directions
Turn 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your cookies bake evenly and come out perfectly.
Turn 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the almond flour, rolled oats, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt together. This helps combine all the dry components.
Turn 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
Next, add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until everything is well mixed and forms a thick dough.
Turn 4: Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the vegan chocolate chips. You want them evenly distributed without breaking them too much.
Turn 5: Scoop onto Baking Sheet
Using a spoon, scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to space them about 2 inches apart for even baking.
Turn 6: Bake
Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Look for the edges to turn golden brown, but keep them soft in the center.
Turn 7: Cool Down
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and be easier to handle.

FAQs About Easy Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Can I use a different flour in this recipe?
Yes! Oat flour or a gluten-free flour blend works nicely in place of almond flour, though the texture may change slightly. Each variation adds its own charm, so experiment until you find your favorite.
How do I make sure these cookies are gluten-free?
Simply choose certified gluten-free oats and, if swapping flours, ensure the alternative is gluten-free. With these adjustments, the cookies stay both vegan and gluten-free without losing any indulgence.
What if my dough feels too crumbly?
No worries just add a splash of water or an extra drizzle of maple syrup. Stir until the dough holds together, and your cookies will bake up beautifully soft and chewy.
How long will these cookies stay fresh?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer storage, refrigerate for two weeks or freeze for up to three months. A quick reheat in the oven or air fryer brings back that fresh-baked magic.
Can I add mix-ins beyond chocolate chips?
Definitely! Chopped walnuts or pecans add crunch, while dried cranberries or cherries offer a chewy twist. You can also sprinkle cinnamon or nutmeg into the dough for a warm, spiced note.
