Reasons to Love These Healthy Oat Flour Chocolate Cookies
- Crunchy: Some homemade cookie recipes end up with soft cookies. So, if your little one has a crunchier taste, this will be the perfect recipe! If you are looking for softer, try these Sugar-free Pumpkin Cookies.
- Healthier than store-bought cookies: I used just the right amount of sugar. Most store-bought cookies are full of sugar and preservatives. There are good options today, but these homemade cookies are a good alternative and a fun way to bond with your children! Have them choose their favorite cookie cutters, and have fun!
- Uses oat flour: Oat flour is an excellent source of fiber, antioxidants, minerals, and B vitamins. Regular all-purpose flour is refined, and a less-healthy option used in most store-bought cookies.
Ingredients
- Cacao 100%
- Coconut oil
- Coconut sugar: You can also use brown sugar.
- Oat flour

- Corn Starch
- Water

Step by Step Instructions
- Add the cacao powder, melted coconut oil, sugar, and hot water to a bowl and mix until combined.
- Add the powdered milk, cornstarch, and baking powder and combine.
- Slowly add the oat flour and mix, starting with a spoon and then with your hands. Continue adding the flour until the dough is no longer sticking to your hands. You may need a little more flour; add it in increments.
- Open the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. The cookies should be about 1/4in thick (6mm).
- Cut into your favorite shapes. Rework the dough and continue cutting until finished.
- Place cookies on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or coated with butter/oil.
- Bake at 156F (180C) for about 15 minutes.
Storage Instructions
The cookies should be stored in an air-tight container at ambient temperature for up to 1 week.
Serving Suggestions and Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Does oat flour bake well?
Yes, but the dough is not as elastic as oat flour isn’t high in gluten. But for these cookies, adding the right amount of oat flour until the dough doesn’t stick to your hands will ensure perfectly crunchy cookies and easy moldability.
