Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 cup nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew, or sunflower seed butter for nut-free option)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or agave syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2–4 tablespoons plant-based milk (almond, soy, oat, etc.)
- 1/3 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Optional Add-Ins and Variations
- 1 scoop plant-based protein powder (for protein boost)
- Spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom (to taste)
- Dried fruit: cranberries, raisins, or chopped dates (to taste)
- Alternative chips: dairy-free white chocolate chips, carob chips, or cacao nibs
- Seeds: chia seeds, hemp seeds, or chopped oats for texture
Instructions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine oat flour, sea salt, and any optional spices. Mixing dry ingredients first ensures even distribution and prevents clumping when the wet ingredients are added.
- Add Nut Butter and Sweetener: Stir in your chosen nut butter and maple syrup or agave syrup. These binders add natural sweetness and create the classic cookie dough creaminess.
- Pour in Plant-Based Milk and Vanilla: Gradually add plant-based milk along with vanilla extract. Fold the mixture until a thick, pliable dough forms. Adjust milk amount slightly depending on the desired dough consistency.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently stir in dairy-free chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed to provide bursts of chocolate in every bite without breaking the dough’s texture.
- Chill and Enjoy: Refrigerate the dough for 20-30 minutes to firm up slightly before serving, or eat immediately for a softer texture. Chilling enhances flavors and makes shaping easier.
Notes
- Use soft nut butter to ensure smooth blending and prevent crumbly or dry dough.
- If oat flour is unavailable, pulse rolled oats in a blender until fine as a homemade substitute.
- Add plant-based milk slowly to avoid overly runny dough.
- Refrigerate dough to improve texture and flavor melding.
- Store dough in an airtight container to prevent drying out or absorbing fridge odors.
- Leftover dough can be refrigerated up to 5 days or frozen for up to 3 months in portioned balls.
- Thaw frozen dough in the fridge overnight or at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving for softer texture.
