Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients

Ingredients needed to make healthy chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.
  • Oat flour: if you do not have oat flour, you can make your own by following my oat flour recipe.
  • Quick-cooking oats: make sure to not get steel-cut oats as the texture won’t be right.
  • Leavening agents: you’ll need both baking powder and baking soda to give these cookies a lift. Make sure they are not expired.
  • Salt: you only need a pinch.
  • Cinnamon: I love the taste of cinnamon with oatmeal.
  • Peanut butter: feel free to swap peanut butter for almond butter if you prefer.
  • Banana: the more brown spots on the bananas the better, this means they’re sweeter.
  • Maple syrup: for some added sweetness.
  • Egg: you need one egg to help bind things together.
  • Mini chocolate chips: the smaller chips fit perfectly on the cookies.

How To Make Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

  • Prepare the equipment: Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the dry ingredients: In large bowl place oat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon. Whisk it well and set it aside.

  • Combine the wet ingredients: In another bowl place bananas, peanut butter, egg, maple syrup, vanilla. Whisk to incorporate. 
  • Make the cookie batter: Combine wet and dry ingredients. Mix with the spatula to incorporate. Add chocolate chips and mix.

  • Shape the cookies: Use an ice cream scoop to form cookies and place them onto the prepared baking tray about 2 inches apart. Shape these cookies by lightly pressing down with your fingers or a spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of each cookie and press them down lightly.
  • Bake the cookies: Bake for 8-10 minutes on the middle oven rack. The edges should be nice golden color and the center should be soft. The cookies will firm up once they cool.

Tips to Make the Best Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

  • Store in an air breathable container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days. Don’t close the cookies all the way in an airtight container because they will get moist, and the chocolate chips will get condensate. If that happens simply let the cookies sit open.
  • Using an ice cream scoop really helps keep the oatmeal cookies uniform so they bake evenly. 
  • Always line the sheet pan or your cookies will stick to the bottom and you risk having really browned bottoms. 
  • Make sure to not overpack the flour when scooping it from the bag. Too much flour will lead to dry cookies.
  • For slightly chewier chocolate chip oatmeal cookies, you can underbake the cookies slightly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are oatmeal cookies healthy for you?

Oatmeal cookies are a little healthier than regular cookies as they contain oatmeal so they provide more nutritional benefits than many other cookies.

Why do my chocolate chip oatmeal cookies taste dry?

If your cookies are dry, you most likely added too much flour. Too much flour will make your cookies feel dense and crumbly. Also, overmixing cookie dough will develop the gluten in the flour, which can lead to tough cookies. Avoid using a mixer and just combine everything in a bowl with a spatula or wooden spoon.

What can I use instead of chocolate chips to make cookies healthier?

You can use raisins or raw cacao nibs if you want to swap out the chocolate chips for sugar free ones or dried cranberries.

What else can I add to this cookie recipe?

Feel free to add dried fruit, chopped nuts, or seeds to the cookie batter to make it even healthier and hearty.

  • Use an ice cream scoop to form cookies and place them onto the prepared baking tray about 2 inches apart.
  • Shape these cookies by lightly pressing down with your fingers or a spatula. They don’t spread much during baking so make sure you give them the desired thickness. Use a damp spatula or dip your fingers into some water to prevent stickiness during the shaping process.
