3 Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies (Vegan)

I have another 3 ingredient recipe for you!  This time it’s 3 Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies.  These 3 Ingredient Oatmeal cookies are also nut free, so they are perfect for school lunchboxes.  There is also no added sugar in these oatmeal cookies.

I also added a few chocolate chips to my oatmeal cookies, but that is totally optional.  I think these oatmeal cookies would be great without the chips too.   You can make these healthy oatmeal cookies in just a few minutes!

  1. These look great and so easy! I'm sure I could use date syrup instead of actual dates... would make it even easier. Any idea how much date syrup to use instead of the dates? maybe 1/2 cup? Thank you!
    1. Coconut flour is very tricky to use. I would reserve it only for recipes written specifically for coconut flour. You can probably sub quinoa flakes for the oats though.
  2. Hello, Hello, I could imagine to bake these cookies for my son (1 year old), but he does not have any back teeth. So I wanted to ask how tight the consistency of these cookies is? Whether they dissolve in the mouth? regards
      1. Thank you very much for your reply. So I have to wait a little bit until I can bake them. Have you an idea, which recipe of yours I could use to bake soft cookies for my son? regards
        1. I have this recipe for toddler crackers. I would still wait until he had more teeth to make them though. https://mywholefoodlife.com/2013/05/24/healthy-toddler-crackers/
          1. Hi, Thank you for your response. You are really helpful and you answer on all questions. So a willingness to help is very rare. I have only one last question for you. Would you be so kind and click on the next link? It appears a survey, which I have created. I perform it for my bachelor thesis. It's about blogs on the internet. The survey is short and completely anonymous. Would you do me that favor? And anybody else can click on that Link, too. It would help very much.

  3. Interesting recipe. Keep in mind that dates are a very concentrated source of sugars. Although they are naturally occuring, it is still alot of sugar. As the recipe yields 12 cookies, that is approximately 1 date per cookie. If the dates are large (medjool dates typically are) that can easily be equivalent to 3 or more teaspoons of sugar per date and in this case per cookie. I might try it with half the dates and add in some nut or seed butter to reduce the sugar per cooker and also to balance it with some added protein and fat. Thanks for the idea.
    1. Sorry that happened to you. What kind of blender are you using? Soaking the dates ahead of time for 30 minutes should help soften them more for easier blending.
