The Best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
These are the best Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies that I have ever had. You would never guess that they are healthy, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free! Plus, they can be made in one bowl in less than 20 minutes!
Chocolate chip cookies are my favorite cookie. They are so simple, yet so perfect. There is nothing better than a warm chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven. Although, there are many different types of chocolate chip cookies. One way to categorize cookies is by texture. Thin and crispy or thick and chewy. Personally, I love them both! But if you love thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies, then you will love this recipe. Warning: the following recipe is seriously addicting!
Why this recipe works
These Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies are perfectly soft, chewy, and filled with chocolate in every bite.
Almond Flour and Oat Flour work together in this recipe to make extra chewy cookies. Almond flour has a high-fat content, which helps ensure these cookies have a thick and chewy texture. If you do not have almond flour, almond meal will also work in this recipe. Extra bonus: both of these flours are gluten-free!
Coconut oil and natural nut butter also help add to the thick and chewy texture of these decadent cookies. You can use any nut or seed butter that you would like. I have only used peanut butter and tahini, both worked wonderfully!
Maple syrup provides a natural source of sweetness in these healthier vegan cookies. If you like a sweeter cookie, try the batter and adjust the level of maple syrup to taste. Chocolate chips also help add to the sweetness of these cookies. I love using trader joe’s chocolate chips because they are cheap, made with vegan ingredients, and so delicious!
