These double chocolate oatmeal cookies are the chewiest, fudgiest cookies around! You’ll love these delicious chocolate treats with a cup of tea or cocoa. These vegan and gluten free cookies are so easy to make and even easier to eat!

If you have a picky eater in your house, you’re going to want to give these cookies a try. That stack of double chocolate cookies up there looks delicious and fudgy, but it’s also hiding a secret ingredient.

When you have children who are a bit picky about what they eat, you have to get creative. I find that a good way to get my picky child to eat a little more variety is to hide vegetables or fruits in baked goods.

These chewy chocolate oatmeal cookies contain a half cup of mashed sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes keep these cookies moist and decadent, and no one can detect them in the cookies.

The flavor and texture of these treats is just pure, delicious, chocolatey goodness.

Ingredients

  • vegan buttery spread
  • sugar
  • brown sugar
  • sweet potato puree
  • water
  • gluten free flour blend
  • baking soda and salt
  • cocoa powder
  • certified gluten free oats
  • dairy free chocolate chips

Sweet Potato Puree

It’s easy to add sweet potatoes to baked goods. We do it all the time, like in these grain free cookies or this grain free skillet brownie.

The easiest way to make sweet potato puree is to simply microwave a sweet potato (or bake it in the oven), and then mash with a fork. You can also puree it in the food processor. Either way will work just fine.

Substitutions

  • You can use butternut squash instead of sweet potatoes.
  • Feel free to use dairy products if you are not dairy free.
  • This recipe will work well with regular all-purpose flour if you aren’t gluten free.

Storage/Freezing

These cookies can be stored in an airtight container for about 3-4 days. I haven’t tried freezing these, but I think they should freeze okay. Store in a freezer safe ziploc bag or container and they should stay fresh for up to 3 months.

Gluten Free Flour Blend

I used Namaste Perfect Flour Blend for this recipe, and it worked really well! These cookies had an excellent texture and didn’t spread all over the baking sheet.

To make sweet potato puree, I microwaved a sweet potato until soft, then mashed the sweet potato with a fork. You could also bake a sweet potato in the oven or use mashed sweet potatoes or squash.
