Paleo “Oatmeal” Cookies

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

All the delicious chunky, crispy-edged, chocolate chip goodness of oatmeal cookies but paleo without any oats or grains. Easy, one bowl, less than 30 minutes!

Paleo "Oatmeal" Cookies (vegan)

I simply set out to make a yummy healthier cookie filled with hemp seeds and almond butter and cacao nibs and things, but they turned out JUST LIKE OATMEAL COOKIES. The texture is freakishly identical with no oats involved. And of course I love every inch of these cookies, but those edges. The gloriously crispy browned edges. The best part ♡

Paleo "Oatmeal" Cookies (vegan)

What’s in These Paleo “Oatmeal” Cookies?

  • Not an oat, not one single oat.
  • Almond flour. These cookies don’t require much flour, but almond keeps them super moist and grain-free.
  • Hemp seeds. These are what give them the chunky “oat” texture, plus a little healthy fat and protein and flavor.
  • Coconut sugar. For that caramelized “brown sugar” sweetness.
  • Flax eggs. Almond flour doesn’t bind much by itself, so this is key for holding the cookies together. I used a little less water than the typical flax egg ratio, so be sure to note that in the recipe. Real eggs will work too.
  • Almond butter. This helps bind, keeps them moist, makes them spread – its very essential. Other nut/seed butters will work as well, personally I just love the flavor of AB.
  • Coconut oil. I tested an oil-free version with non-dairy milk instead – delicious, but not as crispy and they don’t spread as well.
  • Cacao nibs. Instead of chocolate chips, they are crunchier and more bitter which I love since these cookies are quite sweet. Chocolate chips are fine too of course, but I used these sweet cacao nibs from Sunfood which are lightly sweetened with coconut sugar and a perfect in between.

Tips for perfect Cookies

  • Bake them the full 15 minutes. Don’t take these babies out early, you want them to be nice and golden on the edges and tops. They will have better taste and texture this way.
  • Don’t crowd the pan, these cookies do spread quite a bit.
  • Use a very drippy almond butter.
  • Measure by weight. I always recommend this, it will save you time in cleanup and be more precise too.
  • Eat minimum one spoonful of dough. This is more a happiness tip than a perfect cookie tip I suppose. But still important.
  • Freeze them! Not the dough, the finished cookies. If you’ve never had an oatmeal cookie straight from the freezer you’re missing out. This may or may not be the summer 90º+ weather talking too.

I realize these Paleo “Oatmeal” Cookies aren’t nearly as cost effective as a traditional oatmeal cookie, but trust me they are very tastebuds = HAPPY effective. If you are looking for OATmeal cookie options:

  • Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Cookies (oat flour + oats)
  • Vegan Oatmeal Cream Pies
  • Almond Butter Oatmeal Bars (date-sweetened)

Description

All the delicious chunky, crispy-edged, chocolate chip goodness of oatmeal cookies but without any oats or grains. Easy, one bowl, less than 30 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flax + 4 tbsp water)
  • 1/2 cup (75g) coconut sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) coconut oil*
  • 1/3 cup (50g) hemp seeds
  • 1/2 cup (125g) almond butter (or nut/seed butter of choice)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) almond flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup (40g) cacao nibs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
  2. Prepare the flax eggs and set aside to gel for 10 minutes.
  3. Whisk together the almond flour, hemp seeds, coconut sugar, baking soda, and salt until lump free.
  4. Add the almond butter, vanilla, flax eggs, and coconut oil.
  5. Fold in cacao nibs (save a few for on top).
  6. Scoop onto a lined baking sheet (about 2 tbsp per cookie) leaving space in between because they will spread. No more than 8 cookies per pan.
  7. Add a few cacao nibs on top of each and press them down lightly.
  8. Bake for 15-17 minutes at 350ºF.
  9. Cool for 10 minutes on the pan before transferring to a cooling rack.
  10. Enjoy warm, or I love them straight from the freezer too!

Notes

*You can sub non-dairy milk to make them oil-free, but they will be less crispy and rich.

    Those candied cacao nibs are my fave in/on just about anything! I love how protein-packed these are – it’s been tooo longggg since I included hemp seeds in my diet and cookies are the way to go to show these little seeds some love =)

    What can I replace the hemp seeds with? I don’t have access to it where I stay. Would pumpkin or sunflower seeds work? Would the cookies still remain crispy with the sunflower or pumpkin seeds? 😁
    Thanks

      Sure either would work, or sliced almonds would be another similar textured option. All of those are bigger than hemp seeds so I’d recommend chopping them up a bit. And yes they will still be crispy as long as you go with the coconut oil option 🙂

    These sound awesome! I’ve been cogitating how to make chestnut flour crackers. Just chestnut flour and water, but how and in what ratio to make the dough/batter so it doesn’t crumble but comes out crisp like the ones I can buy (which are half rice flour, but at the moment I’m experimenting with grain-free mostly vegan (as in, I eat pseudo-grains, but not true grains, and as I’m veggie but don’t eat eggs (just as they aren’t from our own birds so I can’t guarantee their happiness, and anyway, they aren’t needed) although I sometimes eat a little raw-milk goat’s cheese), so I wondered if you or another blogger might have any ideas? It’s as chestnut tastes good, whereas buckwheat is weird ( I love it, but it’s weird), millet is a touch bitter, quinoa needs special treatment (due to those saponins), and teff and amaranth are hard to find round here; so chestnut (which is cheap-ish and abundant here in the South of France) is the winner.
    Any ideas?

      Well that sounds like a challenging but delicious mission! I’ve honestly never seen chestnut flour here or worked with it, what is the consistency like? Can you compare it to any other flours so I can get an idea and may be offer some suggestions!

        Just made these tonight
        So good, I scooped out about 2 tbsp of dough, I used a trigger scoop from oxo, rolled out into a ball as the dough is quite oily because of the coconut oil, and flattened them out with my hand, added a few more nibs pressed into the dough.
        Baked 350 for exactly 15 min, they spread out nicely.
        Don’t forget to leave the cookie in the pan for 10 min or they will break
        I used peanut butter as I didn’t have almond butter.
        I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to melt the oil or just whisk it in a solid state.
        I didn’t melt it.
        They came out perfect
        I just want to know if I see salt flakes on top of the cookie.
        Will definitely make these again.
        Thank you

          YAY I am so happy you liked them! Yes they definitely need to cool for a bit on the pan before you move them, very fragile when hot. And that is flaky salt on top, optional but looks nice and fancy and I love the sweet/salty contrast. And my coconut oil is melted but I guess its so hot here mine is always in the liquid state so I forget to mention that haha. I appreciate the feedback 🙂

            I’m having a couple now with my coffee
            So good, wow!
            So when do we add the salt?
            I’m guessing as soon as they come out of the oven ?
            Or just before they cool or else we will have salty cookies.. lol!

            Thanks again

            I add it after they cool, if they are too warm it will dissolve! Enjoy 🙂

        Well, it’s a fine flour round here, and texture-wise I suppose I’d compare it to brown rice flour, approximately.

          Hmm well if its similar to brown rice its pretty dry/crumbly then. Have you tried adding ground flax or flax eggs to help bind maybe? a little salt would also really boost the flavor and oil will help with crispiness if you are open to it!

    Hmm, interesting, thanks. I was thinking about replicating the ones I can buy (chestnut flour, water, and salt), but your idea sounds a lot more edible! Haven’t begun yet, but I will next week, or when I remember to.

    WOW!!! These cookies are AMAZING! I did make a couple of modifications: I swapped the Flax Eggs for Chia Seed Eggs as I am allergic to Flax. I also swapped the oil for Apple Sauce and used Lily’s No-Sugar Semi-Sweet chips instead of Cacao Nibs as I did not have the Cacao Nibs and also added Coconut Flakes which give a little crunch. I have a slew of ideas to make different flavor versions of these cookies!!! Thank you so much! Not missing the oatmeal at all!!!

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
