Jump to Recipe

Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies are gluten free and made with healthier ingredients. They're filled with rolled oats and dark chocolate chips!

This post contains affiliate links. Please read our Privacy Policy HERE.

These cookies are ridiculously easy to make! All you have to do is throw all of the ingredients into a mixing bowl and combine. There's no separation of the wet and dry ingredients.

If you love one bowl cookie recipes, check out my Healthy Oatmeal Thumbprint Cookies, Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies and 3 Ingredient Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies!

Now, let's talk about the texture! They have the perfect soft and chewy texture. This is not easy to achieve, especially when a cookie is made without butter or white sugar... you're welcome. 😉

ingredients in almond flour cookies

Ingredients in this recipe

  • almond flour - Use almond flour for this recipe, not almond meal.
  • gluten free old fashioned rolled oats - I suggest using old fashioned rolled oats for this recipe, not quick oats or steel cut oats.
  • baking soda
  • vanilla extract
  • egg
  • coconut sugar - This provides the sweetness in this recipe. I love using coconut sugar when I can because it's unrefined.
  • softened coconut oil - Rather than using butter in these cookies, we're using coconut oil.
  • dark chocolate chips - I love using Lily's Chocolate Chips because they contain no added sugar!

A complete list of ingredients, amounts and instructions is located on the recipe card below.

Expert Tips

Use softened coconut oil for this recipe, not melted coconut oil.

Properly measure the almond flour by spooning it into the measuring cup. Then, level off the top of the cup with a knife. Do not place the measuring cup into the bag and scoop. You could end up with more flour than needed.

Mix all the ingredients together with a rubber spatula. At first you may think you need more liquid. You don't. Just keep mixing until you have cookie dough that resembles the above photo.

It's easy to overbake cookies. Remove them from the oven when they're slightly underdone. They will continue to cook as they cool.

Swap out the chocolate chips for raisins or dried cranberries if you'd like!

Can I make these cookies vegan?

I have not tested this recipe using an egg replacement, but a few readers commented that they've tried a flax egg and Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer. Also, use vegan chocolate chips!

How to store Almond Flour Oatmeal Cookies?

Store these cookies in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for 2-3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

          It depends on the type of protein powder and the texture. I haven't tried adding protein to this recipe so I can't say.

    Another great review for one of your recipes!
    I love how versatile these recipes are according to the ingredients I have on hand. I only had steel oats so this was a shot in the dark that proved to be worth it! (Maybe a little more crumbly, but not bad.) I made a double batch but used half the sugar. No chocolate chips so I added Craisins! I bulked it up for a good breakfast cookie with some unsweetened shredded coconut and some flax as well as some (only peanuts) peanut butter. A dash of salt is always added to my recipes to bring out the flavor.
    Second half of the batch I added cocoa powder, almond extract, and a little bit of the sugar I left out.
    And…the results are in…
    BOTH COOKIES ARE DELICIOUS!!
    The simple flavors meld perfectly together. The combination of crunch and chew is just right. This is a satisfying cookie that offers some yummy nutrition! One cookie filled each granddaughter’s belly. (I look forward to chocolate chips next time!) Off to enjoy…

    Flax eggs work great with this recipe!
    Instead of coconut oil I used almond butter, added chopped pecans and almonds and baked 25 minutes. Good crunch on the outside and soft in the inside. Yummy with or without the chocolate chips.

    I made them and they turned out so flavorfoul and with a interesting mix of softness and fiberness! I used brown sugar instead of coconut sugar and also replaced the coconut oil to butter (because was what i had on hands), and don't regreted at all! But I am also curious to see how it's gonna taste with these ingredients, so I will test later for sure!!

        I'm not sure what almond powder is. You can get all of these ingredients from any major grocery store or from Amazon. If you click "Get Ingredients" on the recipe card, you can see where you can purchase all of the ingredients.
