Vegan Salted Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies made even better with a sprinkling of sea salt on top. These vegan and gluten free treats are always a big hit!
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon flax seed meal
- 3 Tablespoons water
- ½ cup vegan buttery spread
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- ½ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅛ cup non-dairy milk or water
- 1 cup gluten free flour blend
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon sea salt plus more for on top
- 1 ½ cups gluten free old fashioned oats
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1 ½ teaspoons coarse sea salt for topping
- ½ cup pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, or nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl or mug, make the flax egg: mix the water and flax meal together and let it sit for 5 minutes until it forms a gel.
- In a large bowl, cream the buttery spread and sugars until light and fluffy
- Add the flax egg and vanilla and continue to mix. Add ⅛ cup non-dairy milk.
- Add the gluten free flour, baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt. Mix until combined.
- Stop the mixer and stir in the oats, chocolate chips, and seeds or nuts. If the dough is too dry at this point, add a little more liquid. Every gluten free flour acts a little differently, so if the dough seems crumbly, add a splash more non-dairy milk.
- Take some of dough and roll into a ball about 1.5 inches wide and place on the cookie sheet. Leave some space between cookies. Flatten the cookie slightly with the back of a spoon. Repeat with remaining cookie dough.
- Sprinkle cookies with coarse sea salt.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 14-16 minutes.
- Makes about 20 cookies.
Notes
*Look for certified gluten free oats to be sure they are gluten free!
