    These Cranberry Chocolate chip Oatmeal cookies are vegan and can be easily made to be gluten free too! Perfect for an afternoon snack

    Jump to Recipe


     
    This is an Everything Oatmeal guiltfree cookie! You can edit this cookie to your preference. Add any chewy dried fruit like cranberries, raisins, blueberries. goji berries, or Chocolate chips. For a double chocolate version, add 1 Tablespoon cocoa powder to get a Chocolate Oatmeal chocolate chip cookie!
    I usually add some almond slivers or chopped walnuts, to amp up the nutrition, so the cookies become an almost food bar.
     
     
    I met up with some friends today for a baking session. We made a bunch of my Spiced Chocolate cake for all(which also featured on Huffington post here:), also made another version with sorghum and almond instead of oats and almond flour, and with a block of dark chocolate in the middle.. lava cake anyone! Baked up some Double Chocolate Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies(this recipe with chocolate chips and cocoa powder in the mix) and some Pistachio Cashew Almond cookies. And hopefully everyone found vegan baking simpler and funner! 🙂
    More Cookies on the facebook album here.
    In other great news, Greece bans Animal Circuses!, along with other countries like Peru and Bolivia. Amazing news for the animals forced to perform unnatural acts, under harsh conditions, constantly abused, life of fear, with little or no hope for a better life. Please choose human performances rather than animal acts.

      I’m out of whole wheat flour. What is a good substitute (for the best flavor)?

        Meeta, it depends on which fat you use. If you use coconut oil or earth balance butter, they will be less crunchy. With canola oil or other oils they will be crunchier.

      Umm i just made these cookies but the dough was very crumbly, i couldn’t even spoon it out properly. i used an ice cream scooper and tightly packed it. did anyone else have this problem? they are in the oven right now. i’ll let them cook a bit longer than suggested. i hope they don’t break. any ideas why this might be happening? thanks.

        Hmm. I did not have the problem. Maybe too many large nuts/dried fruits in the dough are causing it. You can add a bit more agave and flour to hold it together. How were they after baking? Thanks for writing.

      these cookies look so hearty! i love how they are gluten free too 🙂 do they stay soft? i have a hard time with cookies that don’t have a butter (or its alternative) keeping them soft…

        the coconut oil keeps them soft enough. if you want really soft cookies add all coconut oil and no vegetable oil.. those will feel crunchy out of the oven, but will stay soft forever after that.

      i don’t like oats but i like your oat cookies pics.

      its nice to know about greece banning animal circus. i used to suffer when i would see the innocent animals being tortured and forced to perform…. so inhuman….

      I made cookies very similar to this yesterday. They were small chocolate chip oatmeal cookies with raisins and dates. We are not even close to gluten free (I posted all about seitan today), but I love to put oat flour in cookies. It gives great texture and flavor.

      Thanks for joining in for the Meatless Monday blog hop. Have a great day!
