    Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan + GF)

    Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

    I can't tell you how grateful I was when I successful made these amazing Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. Before I created this simple recipe, I had tried THREE different times to make a tahini chocolate chip cookie recipe and all three were fails. Well, not complete fails as Brett has slowly been working his way through those rejects, but they definitely weren't blog worthy. Apparently, tahini doesn't bake the same way that other nut butters do and all my attempts at tahini chocolate chip cookies turned out goopy, yet hard...I can't even describe the weird texture that they were. 

    Anyways, THESE cookies are a complete success are may be one of my new favorite cookie recipes because they require minimal ingredients, are made entirely with oats and oat flour and are sweetened with maple syrup! Basically you can eat these for breakfast. And while I'm definitely on a tahini kick, peanut butter never gets old. If you love peanut butter in your cookies, you also need to try out my vegan peanut butter blossoms. Or for a more wholesome chocolate chip cookie, you'll love my whole wheat vegan chocolate chip cookies! They're definitely a favorite!

    Can I also so that I'm so incredibly grateful for the friends we have in our little city. If we didn't have any friends here, Brett and I wouldn't know how to eat through all the different recipes and recipe fails that I create every week. Cooking and baking for others is my love language, so I brought these PB oatmeal cookies to a friends house for an afternoon treat. They were gobbled up and given a thumbs up of approval by my friends, so I left happy and satisfied. 

    If you love the combination of oatmeal and peanut butter as much as I do, I'll list some more recipes down below for you to check out!

      Did you try these with apple sauce in place of some of the oil? I have about a tablespoon of coconut oil at home and wanted to make these cookies tonight. More coming in the mail soon. lol

        Hi Tracy! I haven’t tried that yet but I’d love to know if it works! The oil helps the cookies stick together and harden a little after baking, so if you don’t mind a possibly softer texture I think I’d work great! Let me know if you try it and if it works cause I’d love to try that substitution myself!
