How to make Vegan Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies:
This is an overview of the recipe with photos. Complete instructions are located on the recipe card below.
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Add all of the ingredients except for chocolate chips into a mixing bowl.
Combine with a rubber spatula.
Once the flour is almost all mixed in, add chocolate chips.
Mix just until combined. Don’t overmix.
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop for this recipe.
Scoop and drop the dough onto the cookie sheet lined with parchment.
Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten the scooped cookie dough because the cookies won't spread in the oven.
Bake for 8-10 minutes at 350 degrees F.
Once baked, add flaky sea salt on top (optional).
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack.
Expert pro-tips:
Use creamy natural peanut butter for this recipe. Don't use a brand of peanut butter such as SKIPPY® as this will make the cookies more dry.
Ensure the oil sitting at the top of the peanut butter jar is completely stirred and well incorporated. The peanut butter should be nice and drippy.
Properly measure flour by spooning the flour into the measuring cup. Then, level off the top of the cup with a knife. Do not place the measuring cup into the bag and scoop. You could end up with more flour than needed.
Don't overmix the cookie dough. Mix until just combined. You can wind up with dry and dense cookies if the cookie dough is overmixed.
Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop for this recipe.
Can I make these cookies gluten free?
Yes. You can substitute Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour if you're gluten free. Make sure your blend has xanthan gum added.
Storage Directions:
Store them in an airtight container on the kitchen counter for up to 2 days.
