Chocolate Cookkiiiiessss.. These cookies taste a bit like Lacey cookies.. and these are a must try! I sent some over to India, yes, and I should rename these to how to entice your relatives into eating vegan!. I love vegan cookies!. The recipe is very forgiving.. just throw things in together and make a sticky cookie dough with decent amount of fat! and we are good to go!..I am going to make some granola recipe out of this with some more grains, seeds and dried fruit thrown in.. chocolate yummyness!
Some amazing cookies I made earlier… Quinoa Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies, Oatmeal Raisin Cardamom Cookies .. cookie heaven!
Seen below is fluffed up wet ingredients with cocoa powder just dropped in. And the cookie dough on parchment. Click picture to enlarge!
To increase portion size, increase wet to dry ingredients in 1:3 or 1:4 ratio. The final dough should like the dough on parchment paper above.
Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Vegan.
How to make Chocolate Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Easy Vegan Dairy-free Eggless Recipe.
Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons flax meal
- 1 tablespoon hot water
- 4 tablespoons Raw turbinado sugar or jaggery or sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon Agave syrup
- 1.5 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, (a half tablespoon more for darker, and half less for less chocolatey)
- 2 tablespoons roasted Almond butter, Homemade nut butter recipes
- 1 tablespoon virgin coconut oil, (or vegan butter like Earth Balance)
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder, (or allspice)
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup raisins
- 2 tablespoons quinoa, blended coarsely or quinoa flour ( or use oats coarse flour, if you don't have quinoa)
- 2/3 cup oats, (Bob’s Red Mill Organic Old Fashioned)
- 3 tablespoons self rising flour, or gf all purpose flour for gluten free version
- 2 tablespoons whole wheat pastry flour, Or Rice Flour for a gluten free version
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the flax meal and hot water and let sit for a minute.
- Add in the room temperature almond butter, coconut oil, sugar, agave and mix well by hand or by hand mixer until the mixture feels light.
- The almond butter I used is store bought and it takes a while to mix up. Mix and let sit for a few minutes and then mix again to work that almond butter. I used spoon and woman hand power for the mixing!
- Blend/grind the quinoa to a coarse flour along with the baking powder.
- Add in cocoa powder, quinoa, 1/2 cup oats, salt, cinnamon powder and lemon juice and the wheat and self rising flour and mix till just about combined.
- Add in more oats and flour if needed to get gooey muffin mixture kind of consistency, Or a very sticky dough. If you added too much flour or oats and the mixture gets too stiff and dry then add in a teaspoon oil and/or lemon juice to make it gooey and mildly stiff.
- Oil hands or tablespoon and pick up tablespoon full dough, drop them and flatten on parchment paper. Thinner the better.! It can get hard to work with the sticky mixture, so I usually dont make a perfect round shape.:)
- Bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 12-14 minutes(add minutes depending on the thickness of the cookie). The cookies should not be runny or liquidy when done.
- Take cookies off baking tray and cool on rack for a few minutes if you can:)
- Store in airtight container for a week or so. Let me know how yours turn out!

What a fantastic biccie!
Would it be alright if I left out a little of the syrup (not sweet toothed!) and maybe a little milk or something?
I love the way you give the gf help and I thank you for it. It is lovely to be included in the goodies for Xmas and special occasion treats.
Do these freeze well? If I do not I have a Hoover (husband) and he will have them all, accidentally you understand, but he can find a biscuit but not his glasses or keys (amazing!).
the syrup acts as a binder, so dont leave that out. You can reduce the sugar by 1 or 2 tbsp for less sweet. I have not tried freezing them.
Thank you so much Canuckgoingdutch for trying them out.. and i am so glad that they worked out for you.:) your substitutions are healthy too.!
I am always so happy when someone tries my recipes! 🙂 Have a fantastic day!
I just made these cookies and they taste great. (And I don’t feel too guilty eating them!) I don’t live near an organic/whole foods store so I had to sub some ingredients for more generic stuff but it worked ok!
In case anyone is wondering: I subbed coconut for flax meal, honey for agave syrup, peanut butter for almond butter, and finely chopped walnuts for quinoa. The honey makes my cookies not vegan, but I think my substitutions are still healthy 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing your recipe!!
Thanks Ricki, anything that makes them eat more vegan! i’ll try to do:)
thanks Amy!
