You won’t believe how quick and easy these vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are to make. Not only that but they are truly tasty as well! I was inspired to make this recipe off of something that I had seen on Pinterest years ago and since then it has become a favorite of ours. Packed with so much flavor in every bite these cookies are a great excuse to use up ripe bananas on the counter.
Simple Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cookie lovers everywhere can rejoice in this simple recipe. Eat the dough raw or bake for a gooey treat that’s sure to hit the spot. Packed with chewy oats, chocolate pieces, and peanut butter, these vegan banana chocolate chip cookies are a blend of salty and sweet. while the cookie dough tastes great raw, there is a strong “ripe banana” flavor that some may prefer to tone down, baking will help with this. Once baked, the milk chocolate chips helped add sweetness and the cookies hold together very well.
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ingredients
-Bananas: You will need 2 ripe bananas for this recipe. I used frozen ripe bananas that I had on hand (thawed beforehand).
-Oats: You will need 1 cup of quick oats but I used regular oats. The difference is noticeable in the cookie texture.
-Chocolate chips: To keep these cookies vegan use 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips. Regular chocolate chips can be used if you don’t mind the dairy.
-Peanut butter: To help bind the dough together use 1 heaping spoonful of natural peanut butter.

Can I freeze raw vegan cookie dough?
Yes, you can freeze cookie dough balls in an airtight container for up to 3 months. I recommend laying a piece of parchment paper between the dough balls to help prevent them from sticking.
Is this recipe gluten free?
This recipe is vegan free but if you are trying to make it gluten allergy friendly then make sure to use oats that are certified as gluten free. Some oats are grown on fields where wheat is also grown and can lead to cross contamination, so certified oats are a much safer choice when it comes to allergies.

Are they good without bananas?
GreenTea says
Is there an alternative to baking it? When you cook or bake something it’s no longer considered ‘raw’
Marilyn Griffiths says
Yes you eat the dough balls raw if you click on original recipe it says eat raw , the person who wrote this post just decided to see how they turned out when cooked , thats my take on the post anyway
