Chocolate Coconut Oat Flour Cookies are rich, decadent, and healthy. Keeping them as healthy as possible was the goal with oat flour since oats are well known for their health benefits. They are high in fiber, protein, antioxidants and have gained attention for lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels. They’re also gluten-free, as long as you use certified GF oat flour.

Whenever possible, I love to add coconut to a recipe. You can swap it out for more oat flour if you’re not the coconut fanatic that I am. Both weigh in around 80g for a cup, so you can do a straight swap by volume instead of weight. But really, the coconut is probably my favorite part and it adds a ton of flavor and texture to these cookies.

Shaping the cookies
A cookie scoop worked well with these cookies, but they are sticky! So you might want to rinse it under warm water when you start, and then again every now and then as it sticks. The sticky dough makes for a delicious baked texture though, so it’s totally worth it. You can also just drop them by the spoonful onto a lined cookie sheet. If you’re not worried about a perfectly round shape, the spoon method is faster and easier.
