Get ready for the softest Vegan Oil-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies you've ever had. These tasty plant-based cookies are so light and soft that you'd never guess they are completely vegan, gluten-free, and oil-free.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl whisk the nut butter, date sugar, maple syrup, non-dairy milk, ground flaxseeds, and vanilla extract.
Add in the oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into two-tablespoon sized balls (I used a #40 cookie scoop). Place on the baking pan and use a wet hand to flatten.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
Notes
Subbing for date sugarI use date sugar in my baking because it is made from fruit. Date sugar is dried dates, ground into a sugar consistency. So it is much healthier than any other sugar.Date sugar is much different in baking than other sugars - it does not dissolve. So if you would like to use a different sugar, you need to make some changes to the recipe. Make the following bolded changes to the recipe:
½ Cup Cashew or Almond Butter
⅓ Cup Coconut Sugar
½ Cup Maple Syrup
2 Tablespoons Non-Dairy Milk
1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseeds
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
2 ½ Cups Finely Ground Oat Flour
½ Teaspoon Baking Soda
½ Teaspoon Salt
½ Cup Chocolate Chips
I have only tested these cookies using coconut sugar but I expect other sugars would work similarly.
