Equipment

  • 1 Wooden spoon or spatula
  • parchment paper
  • Tablespoon measure or small cookie scoop
  • Wire rack for cooling
  • baking tray
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup 100g oat flour
  • ¼ cup 25g rolled oats (optional)
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • ¼ cup 60ml melted coconut oil (or neutral oil)
  • ¼ cup 60ml maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup 45g dark chocolate chips

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together oat flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats (if using).
  • Add melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until a soft dough forms.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop heaped teaspoons of dough onto the tray and flatten slightly.
  • Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.
  • Let cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Rolled oats are optional:
    • With oats → slightly chewier texture
    • Without oats → softer, smoother cookies
  • If skipping rolled oats and the dough feels soft:
    • Add 1–2 tbsp extra oat flour, or
    • Chill the dough for 10–15 minutes
  • Cookies will look slightly soft when removed from the oven — this is normal.
    They firm up as they cool. Do not overbake.
  • You can make oat flour by blending rolled oats until fine.
  • Oil options:
    • Coconut oil → light flavour, helps cookies set
    • Neutral oil → mild and reliable
    • Olive oil → works, but may add a slight flavour
  • Add 1 tbsp cocoa powder for a chocolate version.
