These Easy cookies make a great snack. Oats, walnuts, chocolate chunks and chewy goodness!
Jump to Recipe
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!

Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ingredients
Wet
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup 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 cinnamon
Dry
- 1/2 cup flour, I use spelt or unbleached white. Use certified gf oat flour to make these gluten-free
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup 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 .

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!
awesome!!
Yummy! Eating them right now. Next time I’ll make a double batch.
Fantastic recipe! Perfect amount of sweetness, well-balanced flavor and undetectably healthy
exactly… they’d never know
These will now be my go to cookies. I had everything in the house and they were perfect.
I couldn’t see a note to line or grease a baking sheet but I’m glad I did.
thanks Jen!
Such yummy and easy cookies. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I have made these cookies many times. They are awesome! Most of the time I used raisins instead of chocolate chips.
This looks awesome!
What is the prose of the almond meal? My wife shouldn’t have almonds because of kidney stones… could i replace that with something else?
Thanks!
yes you an use sunflower seed meal, or a different nut meal or just more flour
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…
Hi, I’m out of maple syrup, does it need liquid sugar or can I add an addition coconut sugar or cane sugar ?
1/4 cup is a lot of liquid that would go missing from the recipe.
