A lovely, classic dessert for all to enjoy, no matter your eating preferences or dietary restrictions. These bad boys may not look like your favourite store bought cookies, but I promise, they are SO SO good!
Plus you can really feel good about eating WFPB (whole food plant based) cookies, right? I mean, it’s basically salad! 😉
How do you make vegan chocolate chip cookies?
These cookies are very easy to make. They contain only 9 ingredients, and you’ll be enjoying them in only 20 minutes!
What you’ll need:
- oat flour (I make my own by grinding oats in my Vitamix)
- baking powder
- salt
- soy milk, or plant milk of choice (almond or cashew also work well if not avoiding nuts)
- maple syrup
- apple cider vinegar
- apple sauce
- vanilla
- dark chocolate chips (or semi sweet if not avoiding refined sugar)
Once your batter is ready, scoop the mixture onto a prepared baking sheet using a tablespoon. Then flatten the cookies slightly with the bottom of the spoon before baking as they won’t spread much.
Once baked, remove from the oven, and let them cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. You can let them cool to room temperature, or enjoy warm. Either way, they taste GREAT!
And just look at those deliciously, melty, chocolate chips! These were a hit with my entire family and no one could guess that they’re probably the healthiest chocolate chip cookie they’d ever eaten!

Holy YUM!! My Omni husband, sister, and brother in law raves about these!! Made them slightly bigger so I only got 12 cookies. I was on my last bit of maple syrup so the last 1/8 of a cup or so I added molasses and wow! A nice cakey flavorful chocolate chip cookie you don’t have to feel guilty about. Making more this weekend and probably a every week cuz it’s just that good! WFPB game changer right here!
Aww thanks so much Azita. I’m so flattered you and your family loved these! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
These cookies were delicious! They were a real treat and I didn’t feel bad about eating them! 🙂
My batch turned out to be around 14 cookies instead of 20. I ate 4 out of the whole batch and my husband ate the rest. I was surprised because he always wants the full fat, chocolate chip packed cookies! Thanks for a healthy recipe! Making them again soon 🙂
Thrilled you both enjoyed Vickie. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. 🙂
Glad everyone else is getting a fluffy texture because I thought I was going insane. I have made chocolate bread now 3 times but still loving the flavour
Thanks for sharing Tierney! Thrilled you’re enjoying. 🙂
