This vegan and healthy almond butter oatmeal cookie recipe is not only amazing, it’s also deliciously chewy on the inside crispy on the outside. I know that there are a lot of great cookie recipes out there, but these simple vegan cookies are one of my favorite recipes ever. They are naturally vegan, made with simple ingredients and fully loaded with amazing flavors. It’s the ideal guilt-free afternoon snack (and I’ll admit to eating them for breakfast a few times, too).
These cookies are irresistibly good, so good in fact, that no one would ever guess they are a healthy treat.

Because this cookie recipe is made with only a few simple, but very hardworking ingredients, it’s naturally vegan and full of protein from the oats and almond butter.
They are crispy on the outside and deliciously chewy on the inside – it doesn’t get much better than these cookies.

This is in fact my favorite healthy cookie recipe for when I want to feel like I’m indulging my cravings, but actually I’m eating healthy.

Gluten Free option

Because this cookie recipe is already made using almond flour, it’s super easy to make it completely gluten free. Just switch the rolled oats for gluten free rolled oats and you’re good to start baking.

Which oats should I use

The type of rolled oats you choose to use is completely up to you. If you like a rustic, more crunchy cookie, I would opt for the large flake rolled oats (these are secretly my favorite). If you want a more polished cookie like the one in my photos, you probably want to use the small flake oats.
Choosing the oats is more a matter of looks and crunchyness than flavor. The taste is amazing no matter how you make these cookies…and if you’re like me and like to try everything, you will probably end up baking them both ways – all ways lead to Rome, or in this case a completely delicious and healthy cookie.
