About this recipe
- Easy chocolate oatmeal cookies
- No flour, no butter, and no eggs
- Vegan adaptable
- Only 5 ingredients
- Cooking time is under 30 minutes
📋 Ingredients
Here are the ingredients (amounts are in the recipe card below).
- Rolled oats: I use rolled oats, but any type is ok. If you use instant oats, you don't have to pulse in a food processor as it's already small pieces.
- Dates: Remove seeds and top of dates. If they are dry, soak them in water for about 10 minutes to soften them. These add a chewy texture to the cookies.
- Chocolate: I use couverture chocolate which brings a nice cacao flavor. You can also use your favorite chocolate bar. If you are a vegan, please use vegan chocolate.
- Oil: I use raw sesame oil which doesn't have smell and taste. You can use any flavorless oil.
- Cacao powder: Add an extra cacao flavor. If you don't have it, you can omit it.
🔪Instructions
All right, let's make the cookies. Watch how to make in this video also!
Firstly preheat an oven to 180C/356F.
- Crush oats and date in a food processor.
- After crushing is like this.
- Melt chocolate in a water bath.
- Mix all the ingredients.
- Form the cookies using a measuring spoon.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 180C/356F.
The freshly made cookies are still fragile, so take them out of the oven and leave them until they cool completely.
There you go! Have a bite, and you will enjoy the scent of cacao and the crunchy texture.
If you love nuts, adding in your favorite nuts like almonds and walnuts would be a great idea!

Notes
- Equipment: Food processor, Silicone baking mat, Measuring spoon
- Storage: Transfer to a container and store at room temperature for one week.
- Substitute: I use raw sesame oil, but you can substitute it with coconut oil or other oil. I use couverture chocolate, but an ordinary chocolate bar is fine. If you don't have cocoa powder, you can omit it.
- Step 4: A measuring spoon is just the right size, but you can use your own cookie cutter. The dough sticks to your hands, so it's better to use a spatula to push it in.
- A silicon mat makes cookies more crispy.
- If the dates are dry and hard, soak them in water for about 10 minutes to soften them before use.
