Equipment

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

⅓ cup Maple syrup
4 tbs Tahini
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract or bean

Dry Ingredients

1¼ cups Rolled oats old fashioned oats
1 pinch Sea salt
¼ cup Chocolate chips + extra for finishing (dairy free)

Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, tahini, vanilla and sea salt until evenly combined.
⅓ cup Maple syrup, 4 tbs Tahini, 1 pinch Sea salt, 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Take ½ cup of rolled oats and grind them in a spice grinder or high-speed food processor until it turns into a rough oat flour, this takes less than 10 seconds.
Add this to the wet ingredients along with the remaining rolled oats and the vegan chocolate chips.
Fold all the ingredients together until combined and the cookie batter has formed.
1¼ cups Rolled oats, ¼ cup Chocolate chips
Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop (or a wet spoon) to drop the cookie dough onto the lined baking sheet, making 8 even mounds (4 per cookie sheet). Wet the back of the spoon and flatten each cookie dough into a round disc, approximately ¼ inch (½ cm) thick.
Leave a 2-inch (5cm) gap between each cookie. For the chocolate lovers, top each cookie with additional chocolate chips by gently pressing them in.
Place each baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 356°F (180°C) fan-forced oven.
The baking time will differ - for crispy cookies bake for 13-14 minutes, and for a chewy texture bake cookies for 8-9 minutes.
Let the chocolate chip oatmeal cookies cool for 5 minutes (they will still be slightly soft straight out of the oven) before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely to room temperature.

Notes

If you opt for the crispy version, these golden brown cookies will emerge from the oven with a soft texture. However, they'll firm up as they cool, resulting in the perfect texture.

On the other hand, the chewy vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies will boast crispy edges and a slightly lighter color. Over time, if stored in the pantry, these edges may soften, offering a chewier bite.
