DOUBLE CHOCOLATE VEGAN COOKIES WITH OATS AND WALNUTS
Knock your socks off double chocolate chip cookies!
Chocolate is the ultimate comfort food. Double chocolate cookies with chunks of vegan chocolate chips, chewy oats, crunchy walnuts, and cacao powder is the most ultimate comfort food.
When we make these, all bets are off. There is no such thing as willpower.
And when there's only one cookie left, we often arm wrestle for it.
Not really, but we would if it came down to it.
All kidding aside, you're going to love this easy chocolate cookie recipe because it's like eating a brownie and a cookie at the same time.
FUDGY BROWNIE COOKIES ARE GREAT FOR TRAVEL
These are the perfect compromise when you can't decide if you want a brownie or a cookie.
This vegan cookie recipe is super fudgy and chewy on the inside, like a brownie. The outside has a slightly crispy texture, like a cookie.
When you're wondering what to make for dessert, school lunches, a party, or a picnic, these vegan brownie cookies are a great choice!
WHAT INGREDIENTS DO YOU NEED TO MAKE VEGAN CHOCOLATE COOKIES WITH WALNUTS
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- One cup whole oats - in the original recipe we ground the oats into flour, but we prefer to leave them whole for added texture.
- ¼ cup cacao powder, cocoa powder will do as well
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- One teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon finely ground sea salt
- 1 ripe banana - it should have lots of brown spots and it should be soft.
- ¾ cup granulated sugar - use organic or beet sugar to ensure that it wasn't processed with bone char.
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil - no need to melt it.
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups vegan chocolate chunks, we use Enjoy Life .
- ½ cup chopped walnuts - this is optional, but they do add nutrition and great texture.
HOW DO YOU MAKE VEGAN DOUBLE CHOCOLATE COOKIES
There may be a few ingredients in these healthy chocolate oatmeal cookies, but they're so easy to make.
STEP ONE
Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
STEP TWO
In a medium bowl whisk the oats, flour, cacao powder, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
STEP THREE
In a large mixing bowl, beat the banana and sugar until smooth and creamy.
Add the coconut oil and vanilla and whip until light and creamy.
STEP FOUR
Slowly add the flour mixture and blend until just combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips and walnuts until fully incorporated in the cookie dough and drop by tablespoons on the baking sheet.
Press one walnut in the center of each cookie (optional). Bake for 10 to 12 minutes and cool on a wire cooling rack.
HOW SHOULD YOU STORE HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE COOKIES WITH WALNUTS?
- Store the cookies in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze them for up to 2 months in a freezer safe container.
- You can also freeze the cookie dough. We suggest making individual balls before freezing so you can take one, or as many as you like, out of the container to bake.
