Eggless Wholegrain Buckwheat Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies #healthy #glutenfree
“Remember, there are cookies waiting here for you.”Dean Koontz
Eggless Wholegrain Buckwheat Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies. These are cookies that come together in a matter of minutes, are fuss free and absolutely delicious. That they are 100% wholegrain makes them a winner. Swap the chocolate chips for raisins, maybe add some walnuts, or make them coffee chocolate chip cookies. Either way, these will disappear before you know it! This is pure comfort food.
You might remember the Wholegrain Buckwheat Orange Chocolate Chippers I made some time go. I shared them on a story on my Instagram handle at Passionate About Baking and they were a huge hit. That story also drew a large number of requests for an eggless version, and that’s how these came about.
While I shared the making of the eggless version in an instastory there the next day, I never really got down to sharing the recipe as I got busy with this & that. To cut a long story short, here you are – Eggless Wholegrain Buckwheat Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies! #healthy #indulgent #glutenfree
I love using buckwheat flour or “kuttu ka aata” while baking at home when fresh flour is available in the market. Often when the fasting season is on, the local market is flooded with freshly ground flour. Since buckwheat flour gets rancid easily, especially in warm temperatures, I buy a few bags and keep them in the freezer. A little goes a long way, and it’s always fun to experiment!
That this experiment also worked out quite well put me in a happy space. In any case, an eggless cookie experiment always behaves better than an eggless cake experiment! Often, using yogurt/dahi or flaxseeds work quite well.And you also might like these Eggless Wholegrain Chocolate Buckwheat Sablés too. They are some of my favourite cookies as well.

Ingredients
Dry Mix
- 75 g quick cooking oats
- 75 g buckwheat flour {kuttu ka aata}
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- pinch salt
- 100 g dark chocolate chips
Wet Mix
- 115 g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 115 g jaggery granules
- 15 ml honey
- 1 tbsp yogurt
- 1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste {or vanilla extract}
Instructions
Dry Mix

Wet Mix
- Place all the wet mix ingredients in bowl of stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, and process for 2 minutes on speed 3.
- Add the dry mix and stir with paddle attachment on slowest speed for 30 seconds.
- Let the mixture stand/rest while you preheat the oven to 180C {15-20 minutes}
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. Use good quality heavy duty cookie trays, else use 2 trays at a time for even baking.
- Place scoops of cookie dough on the parchment, 2 inches apart, 12 on each sheet. Flatten gently with the tines of a fork. {Sprinkle over a few more chocolate chips if you are feeling particularly indulgent}
- Bake for approximately 15 minutes, until the edges are done, light golden brown, and the centre is still a little soft. {Bake further 5 minutes if you like crisp cookies}. Watch closely towards the end so they don't get burnt.
- Remove tray from oven, allow to stand for 5 minutes, then cool the cookies completely on the rack. Best eaten in a day or two.

Hello
I wanted to know if buckwheat flour could be replaced with whole wheat flour here?
Thank u
Deeba @ PAB
Yes, I think that would work fine Mehvish.

Hi Deeba,
I made this today. I substituted Splenda brown sugar blend for the jaggery and honey.
Added orange zest and a couple tablespoons fresh orange juice. Baked for 17 minutes.
They have really turned out great. Am so happy that my diabetic, vegetarian hubby can eat these.
Thanks

Am not sure what went wrong but the dough is liquidy, added more oats and buckwheat flour, but did not make much of a difference. It’s spreading out like snaps rather than cookies.
Deeba @ PAB
Hi Sujatha, that’s quite strange. Maybe you measured something incorrectly, or missed an ingredient? Another reader made them {in her comments above} and she said they turned out great.
I’ll make a batch again soon to check.
Suj
Hi Deeba! Forgot to mention that I substituted butter with peanut oil to make this recipe dairy free too! Though the dough spread, it turned out super crisp like snaps and delicious! Thanks a ton for the recipe!
Deeba @ PAB
Hey thanks Suj. That sounds awesome. I might do that next time. Thanks for letting me know! Hugs

Has anyone tried rolling this dough out and creating the beautiful cookies with the designs imprinted as shown ?
Deeba @ PAB
Hi Dorothy, these aren’t the lace cookies though.

Hello,
I tried the recipe today. They turned out delicious but they all turned out flat too! All the ingredients measured as per the recipe. Not sure what would have gone wrong!
Thanks.
Deeba @ PAB
Hi Neha, Thanks for trying out the recipe and for your feedback. Probably the butter was a little more soft/melted than firm. At times the absorption power of the flour brand used can also be different. Maybe next time chill the cookies on the tray before baking, or, if the cookie dough looks a little ‘loose’, add an extra spoon of flour? Hope this helps
