Start by mixing all the wet ingredients together.

Then mix in the dry ingredients with a mixer.

Add 1.5 cups rolled oats to the mixture.

Add 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, and a pinch of salt.

Add 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.

Add 1/2 cup coconut oil and 3 tablespoons water to the mixture.

Mix everything until well combined.

Scoop the dough onto a cookie sheet, filling it pretty full.

Place the cookie sheet in the oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) for about 7 minutes.

Check on the cookies after 7 minutes; they should be golden around the edges.

Let the cookies cool for a minute or two before transferring them to a cooling rack.
