Ingredients

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons coconut sugar or brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoons white sugar or additional coconut sugar
  • ⅓ cup chocolate chips (or more if desired)
  • ⅓ cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
  • 35 tablespoons milk of choice, as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 380°F (193°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine oat flour, baking soda, salt, sugars, and chocolate chips.
  3. Stir in vanilla, oil, and 3 tablespoons milk. Add more milk if dough is too dry.
  4. Form into one large dough ball, then divide into smaller balls.
  5. Optional: Chill for softer cookies.
  6. Place on a baking tray and bake for 9 minutes.

Notes

  • For nut-free cookies, omit nuts and use nut-free milk/oil.
  • For vegan version, ensure chocolate chips and milk are plant-based.
  • Homemade oat flour: Blend rolled oats until fine and packed tightly when measuring.
  • Customize with dried fruits, spices, or different chocolate types.
  • Dough can be frozen for future baking.
