    Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies | Vegan Richa

    These cookies are a current favorite in the house. The big chocolate chunks give a burst of chocolate. I use enjoy life chocolate chunks that are palm oil free. The oats make these cookies rustic and chewy. The hidden walnuts are a nutty surprise.

    Chew away! To make these nut-free, omit the walnuts, and use sunflower seed meal instead of almond meal.

    Make these!

    Ingredients

    Wet

    • 1/4 cup (80.5 g) maple syrup
    • 1/4 cup (40 g) coconut sugar or other sugar of choice use 1 tbsp less for less sweet
    • 2 Tbsp oil or use applesauce or aquafaba
    • 1/2 to 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) cinnamon

    Dry

    • 1/2 cup (62.5 g) flour I use spelt or unbleached white. Use certified gf oat flour to make these gluten-free
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) baking powder
    • 1/8 tsp (0.13 tsp) salt
    • 1/4 cup (28 g) almond meal
    • 1 cup (81 g) old fashioned oats
    • 1/3 to 1/2 cup (56.67 g) vegan chocolate chunks
    • 3 tbsp chopped walnuts

    Instructions

    • In a bowl combine all the wet ingredients and mix until sugar is well combined. (powder the sugar in a blender before using if it is granulated to help with quick mixing on this step.)
    • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and almond meal and add to the wet. Add in the oats and mix until well combined. (add a bit less or more oats depending on the wet mixture. measurements vary and you want the mixture to be soft somewhat sticky). Add in the chocolate chunks and walnuts. Fold in to distribute evenly. The dough will be somewhat sticky. (Add more flour of too wet, or a dash of non dairy milk if too dry). I added 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips as well for some extra chocolate per bite.
    • Chill for 15 minutes. Take 2 to 3 tbsp of the dough and make large cookies. Flatten lightly on the sheet. Press the leftover chocolate chunks (there will be few towards the end), into the shaped cookies.
    • Preheat the oven to 365 degrees F/ 180ºc. Place baking sheet on the center rack. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes.
    • Cool for 10 minutes before serving .

      Hello:) I made these today and they’re amazing thank u! I had trouble me in getting them to stick together when making them into balls and then cookies so any tips for next time will be appreciated ! Feel like it may have been a bit too sticky and ended up sticking to my palms heaps . Thank you 🙂

      Thank you for the recipe Richa! I just made them: They’re very tasty, a little chewy. I also used light brown sugar. (The only sub). I think I could have let them bake 1-2 min more. I took them out at 11 minutes. I will be making them again because they are such a pleasant mouthful and will go great with a glass of almond milk or a cup of tea!

      I made this recipe yesterday not being able to combine the batter as a cookie .
      The batter remained as a crumble so I ate uncooked with a spoon.
      I did screw up and added 3 tablespoons of canola oil .
      I don’t know why the batter never clumped .
      The recipe is delicious . My husband used the crumble with his yogurt and a banana . He loved it .
      My mistake was I added 3 tbl od oil instead of 2. I used a half bar of chopped 70% Lindt chocolate .
      The taste is fabulous but I could never combine the batter to make a cookie .

        hmm maybe the flour or oats absorbed liquid more or something. Just sprinkle in some non diary milk and press into a dough. AS soon as you get a dough, make balls to make cookies.

      These came out great, thanks! next time will use less sugar, do you think I could omit it all together or is it necessary for something other than sweetness? Also for some reason this only made 8 small cookies for me…

        it should work out just fine. Add about 3/4 of the flour first and combine and add more to mix into a soft not too sticky mixtyre. if the mixture starts to get too stiff and dry, dont add the rest of the flour.

      Made these last night with a few subs – used coconut oil, added pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, raisins and chocolate chips to make them ‘everything cookies’ cut the sugar a little so i could eat them for breakfast and added a little almond milk to help bind with all of the extra add-ins.

      the recipe was a great base for what i was looking for! thank you! your recipes are quickly becoming my go-tos when i have something in mind to make and i am looking forward to trying lots more!

          I’m always very happy when I can gdt my 6 year old to eat vegan food. I just left out the green chili and that worked.
          I am going to start cooking from your book today.
          By the way, I have to say that your baking skills are really awesome!
