3 Ingredient Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
These soft and chewy chocolate flavored oatmeal cookies are so easy to make. They are ready in about 15 minutes from start to finish. The cookies don't require any flour, eggs or dairy.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (42 g)- 1/2 cup (84 g) semisweet chocolate chips, see note
- 1/2 cup (121 g) unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup (88 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Add chocolate chips and applesauce to a large microwave-safe mixing bowl. Heat at full power in 30 second intervals, stirring in between with a spatula, until chocolate is completely melted, smooth and mixture is uniform in color. I needed 1 minute in my microwave for the chocolate to be completely melted.
- Stir in the oats until they are evenly mixed in and fully coated in the chocolate mixture. The mixture will still be very wet and resemble a thick batter rather than regular cookie dough. Use a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop up oatmeal mixture and place onto prepared cookie sheet, spacing cookies about 1.5 inches apart.
- Using the back of a metal spoon, flatten each ball into a thick round disk, about 1/4 inch thick. The cookies do not spread during baking so make sure to shape them how you want the final outcome to be.
- Bake cookies for about 10 minutes. Let cookies cool completely on cookie sheet before removing. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- If you use 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, the cookies are only very lightly sweetened. If you prefer sweeter cookies, I recommend using 1/2 cup instead and also adding 1 more tbsp of quick oats.
- I used Kirkland brand dairy free semisweet chocolate chips. Regular semisweet chocolate chips can also be used if you don't need to make these dairy-free.
- The nutrition estimate is calculated using 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
