Vegan Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies (No Chill)
These no-chill vegan and gluten-free chocolate chip cookies made with oat flour and almond flour come together in one bowl and are ready in just 20 minutes. Perfect to satisfy all your cookie cravings.
Butter. Melt the vegan butter in the microwave at 20-second increments or in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the butter starts to melt, remove it from the heat and stir until it is fully melted. Let it cool until lukewarm (this is very important to obtain the right texture).
Wet ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, ground flax seeds, plant-based milk, and vanilla. Stir in the melted and cooled vegan butter.
Dry ingredients. Add in the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir to combine. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
Cookies. Scoop out 12 balls of dough onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or form balls with your hands. Press them flat into a thick disk with a slightly wet hand. Make sure to leave enough space between the cookie dough balls as they spread a little while baking.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until golden. When you take out the baking sheet, tap it several times against the counter to flatten the cookies. Let them cool completely.
Notes
Vegan butter: Make sure to use plant-based block butter and not a vegan spread. I'm based in Europe and have had great results with Solo Gourmet (based on palm and sunflower oil). If you're successfully making this recipe with another vegan butter brand, please share it in the comments with us. Thank you so much!
Brown sugar: If you're based in Europe, dark brown sugar does not refer to unrefined cane sugar. It refers to a slightly wet, dark brown sugar with a higher molasses content. It's often called "cassonade" in Belgium and Canada, and "vergeoise" in France. You can easily make your own by mixing 1 cup of crystallized white sugar (200 g) with 2 tablespoons of molasses. Combine with your hands or a spatula until there are no lumps and the sugar has the consistency of wet sand.
