These Easy cookies make a great snack. Oats, walnuts, chocolate chunks and chewy goodness!
Jump to Recipe
These cookies are a current favorite in the house. The big chocolate chunks give a burst of chocolate. I use enjoy life chocolate chunks that are palm oil free. The oats make these cookies rustic and chewy. The hidden walnuts are a nutty surprise.
Chew away! To make these nut-free, omit the walnuts, and use sunflower seed meal instead of almond meal.
Make these!

Oatmeal Walnut Chocolate Chunk Cookies
Ingredients
Wet
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar or other sugar of choice, use 1 tbsp less for less sweet
- 2 Tbsp oil, or use applesauce or aquafaba
- 1/2 to 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Dry
- 1/2 cup flour, I use spelt or unbleached white. Use certified gf oat flour to make these gluten-free
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup almond meal
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chunks
- 3 tbsp chopped walnuts
Instructions
- In a bowl combine all the wet ingredients and mix until sugar is well combined. (powder the sugar in a blender before using if it is granulated to help with quick mixing on this step.)
- Whisk flour, baking powder, salt and almond meal and add to the wet. Add in the oats and mix until well combined. (add a bit less or more oats depending on the wet mixture. measurements vary and you want the mixture to be soft somewhat sticky). Add in the chocolate chunks and walnuts. Fold in to distribute evenly. The dough will be somewhat sticky. (Add more flour of too wet, or a dash of non dairy milk if too dry). I added 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips as well for some extra chocolate per bite.
- Chill for 15 minutes. Take 2 to 3 tbsp of the dough and make large cookies. Flatten lightly on the sheet. Press the leftover chocolate chunks (there will be few towards the end), into the shaped cookies.
- Preheat the oven to 365 degrees F/ 180ºc. Place baking sheet on the center rack. Bake for 11 to 12 minutes.
- Cool for 10 minutes before serving .

I made these today and they were great!
Awesome!
These r amazing, made them last week with raisins. Do you think they will freeze well.
Awesome! I haven’t tried freezing them, I never have any left :). Let me know if you freeze them and it affects the texture in any way.
made these with raisons instead of chocolate and replaced half of the maple syrup with molasses and they turned out very good
Awesome!!
Made these last night with a few subs – used coconut oil, added pumpkin seeds, sliced almonds, raisins and chocolate chips to make them ‘everything cookies’ cut the sugar a little so i could eat them for breakfast and added a little almond milk to help bind with all of the extra add-ins.
the recipe was a great base for what i was looking for! thank you! your recipes are quickly becoming my go-tos when i have something in mind to make and i am looking forward to trying lots more!
Thank you for such a lovely recipe! I made these using rye flour only (what I had in my pantry) and subbed half the chocolate chips for raisins. They were toasty and delicious alongside a scoop of coconut ice cream. 🙂
hi, the cookies do look scrumptious but, with chocolate, can they be dairy-free?
yes, there are several dairy-free vegan chocolate brands like Enjoy life, Theo, lulu etc. Find the one you like and use. I usually use enjoy life or theo.
hi! What could I used as a substitute for Almond Meal? Almonds are an allergen for us.
Thanks!!
Pat
more flour, or seed meal like ground sunflower or pumpkin seeds
Same amount of flour in place of almond meal?
start with 1-2 tbsp less, then add more if needed depending on the dough consistency
