These are hands down my favorite Chocolate Chip Cookies! They remind me so much of the chocolate chip cookies my Grandma made for me growing up! Grandma likes a loaded cookie, full of chocolate chips, oats and walnuts. This ode to Grandma’s Famous Chocolate Chip Cookie has gotten her stamp of approval and there is no greater award than that.

How To Make Vegan Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

These vegan cookies with almond flour come together easily by creaming the softened butter, almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla. To the creamed batter, add in the rolled oats, almond flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda and salt. Stir until the dough is completely combine and then mix in the chocolate chips and walnuts using a rubber spatula. Use a cookie scoop to portion out the cookie dough then bake the cookies for 8-10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree fahrenheit oven. Enjoy! (*Don’t forget to try some of the batter on it’s own. It’s my favorite cookie dough!)

Substitutions for Vegan Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

These oatmeal almond butter chocolate chip cookies are designed to be gluten free and vegan but there are a few tested substitutions you can do to suit your needs.

Almond butter – you can use another type of unsalted unsweetened nut butter or seed butter here but I like the flavor of almond butter best in these cookies.
Non-dairy butter – if you aren’t vegan or dairy free you can use unsalted dairy butter in this recipe.
Walnuts – you can substitute the raw walnuts in this recipe for another raw unsalted nut such as a pecan or omit them altogether.
