Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly oil the paper with cooking oil spray. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, add oat flour, baking soda, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Stir with a rubber spatula until it forms a sticky and thick cookie dough.
Fold in the chocolate chips, and stir to evenly incorporate them.
If your cookie dough is dry, crumbly, or won't stick into a dough ball when pressed in your hand, then add a bit more milk and stir to evenly incorporate.
Divide the dough into 8 even cookie dough balls, pressing the cookie dough in a cookie dough scoop to pack it well.
Release each cookie dough ball on the baking sheet and leave an inch of space between each. They will grow a little in height but won't spread that much.
Press the top of each cookie with a lightly oiled hand palm, and if the sides of the cookies crack, pat with your oiled fingers to reshape.
Bake the cookies for 15-16 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until golden brown.
Cool down for 10 minutes on the baking sheet then transfer to a cooling rack for an hour.
Notes
Note 1: Use homemade oat flour. Place oats in a high-speed blender and blend 30 seconds on high speed to form a fine powder with few larger pieces. Don't make it too fine or the cookie dough won't come together. Use gluten-free certified oats if needed.Note 2: Or light olive oil, or any oil with a low flavor.Note 3: You can also use agave syrup or coconut nectar.Note 4: Oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk also work. Add more milk if your dough is crumbly and won't form cookie dough balls.Note 5: Use mini chips or the dough is hard to form. You can swap for shredded coconut, finely chopped pecans, or walnuts.Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze it shaped in balls, in airtight Ziploc bags. Thaw in the fridge the day before.
