What You Need To Make Salted Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
- Butter: To keep these dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookies vegan, we use melted vegan butter in the cookie dough. If you are not vegan, you can use regular butter.
- Maple Syrup: Instead of using refined sugar, we use maple syrup to sweeten the salted dark chocolate chip oatmeal cookie dough. It gives the cookies a lovely warm flavor.
- Milk: Since these cookies are vegan, we use non-dairy milk such as plain and unsweetened almond or oat milk. If you are not vegan, regular milk will work.
- Baking Powder: Making powder helps the cookies rise and get fluffy. No eggs needed!
- Salt: No oatmeal or dark chocolate chip cookie is complete without sea salt! I use regular ground sea salt in the cookie dough and then larger sea salt finishing flakes on the tops of the cookies.
- Spices: We use cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract to give these dark chocolate chip cookies an extra layer of flavor.
- Oat Flour: Instead of regular refined white flour, we use gluten-free oat flour in this recipe.
- Oats: To make these cookies chunky and delicious, use gluten-free quick oats. Oats also make the cookies more filling!
- Dark Chocolate: I used Oobli vegan dark chocolate in these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Oobli makes their chocolates from sweet proteins, making them a healthier alternative to regular dark chocolate! Thank you Oobli for sponsoring this recipe!

What vegan butter do you use? I’m having a hard time finding one that doesn’t not contain so many inflammatory oils (i.e sunflower, soy, safflower, canola, etc)
