Delicious, soft-baked, and gooey, these blueberry chocolate chip cookies are made with oatmeal and juicy fresh berries. It’s the quick, easy, and vegan recipe for the blueberry cookies you’ve been looking for! You just dump everything as you go into a bowl.
A dear friend gifted me a box of fresh blueberries last week. Since I love baking with fruits, especially berries of all kinds, some of these were stashed away in my freezer for my baked goodies.
After tossing out the pies and crumble ideas, I went for oatmeal blueberry chocolate chip cookies. It was a good decision, to say the least. I ended up making THREE batches back-to-back; they were such a hit!
WHY TRY BLUEBERRY AND CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES?
Pretty straightforward: the blueberry cookie recipe needs no creaming or chilling.
Irresistible flavor fusion: Sweet and tangy flavors create a comforting and exciting taste sensation.
Healthy without sacrificing taste: Fresh berries add a burst of flavor AND infuse a dose of antioxidants and vitamins.
HOW TO MAKE BLUEBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP OATMEAL COOKIES?
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silpat.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, sift flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
Step 3: Then add in the oats.
Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut oil and brown sugar.
Step 5: Stir in the coconut milk and vanilla extract.
Step 6: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix well.
Step 7: Fold in the chocolate chips and blueberries. You’ll have a dry-ish blueberry chocolate chip cookie dough.
Step 8: Make even-sized balls with your hands (or use a cookie scoop) and place them an inch apart on the baking tray.
Step 9: Bake for 10–12 minutes for very soft cookies.
Step 10: Transfer them to a cooling rack after allowing them to sit on the tray for a few minutes.
Final step: Serve and savor!
RECIPE NOTES FOR THE BEST BLUEBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
- Make sure all your ingredients for blueberry chocolate cookies are at room temperature.
- Skip the mixer and use a spatula to mix, as the cookie dough is denser.
- The trickiest part of blueberry cookies is making cookie dough balls. The batter is on the drier side, so an ice cream or cookie scoop doesn’t work that well. You need to get your hands in there.
- Once these little dough balls get in the oven, they tend to split open as the blueberries burst from the oven heat. Don’t worry, chocolate chip blueberry cookies don't fall apart! They just look very rustic and charming.
HOW DO I KEEP MY BLUEBERRY COOKIES SOFT AND CHEWY?
Typically, the baking time of a blueberry chocolate chip cookie recipe is 10–12 minutes. That’ll give you very soft cookies. I tried a batch with an extra 4–5 minutes, which gave me a sturdier cookie with a bit of crunch on the outside but still a moist center. Increase the baking time to 12–15 minutes for a slightly firmer texture.

BLUEBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES HEALTHY INGREDIENTS & SWAPS
Flour: I used oats and whole wheat because I was gunning for healthy and dark chocolate blueberry cookies. All-purpose flour will work just as well.
Oil: These are vegan blueberry chocolate chip cookies. But you can, by all means, add softened butter instead of coconut oil.
With egg: Feel free to replace coconut milk with an egg. Although the milk doesn’t make the cookies coconutty at all, they are moist, chewy with all the oats, gooey with the chocolate, and have little bursts of juicy berries that just make everyone so happy!
Chocolate: I used 70% dark chocolate chips, but feel free to make these blueberry white chocolate chip cookies. Try whatever flavor of chocolate floats your boat.
FRESH OR DRIED BLUEBERRY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
You can use either fresh or frozen blueberries for this blueberry cookie recipe. My suggestion? Pick whatever you have at hand or can find easily.
