Ingredients
- ¾ cup gluten free rolled oats
- ¼ cup gluten free oat flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (more or less to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 6 Tablespoons peanut butter
- 2 Tablespoons ground flax
- 6 Tablespoons warm water
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 2 Tablespoons coconut oil- melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
- 1 cup peanut butter-room temperature
- ½ cup vegan chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- First make flax egg. In a small bowl stir together 2 Tablespoons ground flax seed and 6 tablespoons warm water and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together dry ingredients: rolled oats, oat flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: peanut butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar, flax eggs and vanilla until well mixed.
- Pour wet mixture over dry mixture and using a rubber spatula, fold the ingredients together until well combined.
- Using medium (1 ½ Tablespoons) cookie scoop drop balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving 2 inches space apart. Using a spoon, slightly flatten cookies to desired thickness (They will not spread much during baking) and make a small dent in the center. If the edges crack and fall apart when press the cookie, shape them with your fingers.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes until gets nice golden-brown color and slightly firm to touch. Transfer cookie sheet to cooling rack and again press each cookie in the center with a spoon to make enough space for peanut butter filling. Cool completely.
- Drop peanut butter on each cookie and slightly spread with a spoon. Transfer the cookies on a rack.
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil and pour over each cookie.

With all the popups and ads, links to other recipes, and irrelevant info, I never did find the recipe for the orignial post of choc covered oatmeal cookies. I have the same problem with all recipes on this site.
Awful..I cannot find the recipes..there was several that I really wanted to try , but unfortunately I guess I won’t be trying them out!!!
Just scroll right down to it. If ads are the problem, get adblock plus. I have no problems on this site.
Can these be made oil free, perhaps subbing aquafaba for the oil or leave it out entirely?
These cookies look awesome! I don’t necessarily need gluten free or vegan ingredients so what could substitute for oat flour and coconut sugar? Could you sub in all purpose flour or maybe graham cracker crumbs and maybe brown sugar?
You can substitute regular sugar for the coconut sugar. I don’t know about the flour. I’m not sure why you would want to substitute them. They are healthy and it doesn’t have anything to do with “vegan,” and doesn’t matter whether you are gluten-free or not.
I made these today, very easy and delicious. I will be saving this recipe.
Just get adblock plus. I scroll right to the recipe without any problems. Nothing popping up in the way.
