Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until well combined and smooth.
Add the applesauce and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients and continue to mix until completely combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, stirring with a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
Gently flatten the cookies slightly with the back of the spoon or scoop to help them spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers appear slightly underbaked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious dairy-free chocolate oatmeal cookies with a cold glass of almond milk or your favorite dairy-free milk substitute!
