Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, combine the flaxseed meal and water to make a flax egg. Stir well and let sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
In another bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Add the brown sugar to the wet ingredients and mix until well incorporated.
Stir the prepared flax egg into the wet ingredients.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips evenly throughout the dough.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and form small balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart.
Gently press down on each cookie with a fork to flatten them slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden around the edges.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store in an airtight container for up to one week. Enjoy your vegan peanut butter oatmeal cookies!
