These monster cookies are vegan chewy, chocolatey, and are made with oat flour for the perfect sweet gluten-free treat.
If you are a chocolate peanut butter lover, then you are going to love these cookies. These cookies get their sweetness from the maple syrup and fat content from the peanut butter. It is a much healthier option than your traditional monster cookie.

Monster Cookie Ingredents
- Peanut Butter. Chose a smooth creamy variety.
- Coconut Sugar. You can also use brown sugar.
- Oat Flour. This is my favorite gluten-free flour alternative. It’s minimaly processed and adds a nice nutty undertone.
- Baking Soda. Gets the cookies nice and fluffy.
- Rolled Oats. Iconic in a monster cookie.
- Vegan Chocolate Candies. The brand Unreal has great vegan chocolate candies. The most similar to M&Ms.
- Flax Egg. This helps to bind the cookies together because the flax creates a gel like effect.
- Vanilla. You can use powder or extract for this recipe.
How to make monster cookies
These monster cookies are super easy to make and uses minimal ingredients. Much like any cookie recipe, you want to combine the dry ingridents in a separte bowl from the wet. Mix seperately and then combine together. Once the dough is made, add in the chocolate and rolled oats.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out the dough and form a ball. Place the cookie dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parachment paper and press down to flatten the dough.
