Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

August 24, 2015

Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies Vegan Gluten Free

Every day of the week Monday should call for cookies. Thick, fat, chewy and melty chocolate chunk filled cookies with a sprinkle of sea salt on top for good measure.

Who agrees?! These Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies are ALL of the above guys PLUSΒ these cookies, like the name says, are made with LOTS of peanut butter.

Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies Vegan Gluten Free recipe

peanut butter cookies

These Vegan and Gluten Free Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies are inspiredΒ by my Chocolate Flourless Peanut Butter CookiesΒ which are one of my favorite cookies to make in the kitchen. Nothing beats a peanut butter cookie recipes guys because they are just so darn SIMPLEΒ to bake up (and munch on, ha!). These cookies call for one bowl, no electric mixer, no flour and only a fewΒ ingredients (8 ingredients + sea salt and water) you probably have in your cupboard right now.

I’m going to let these Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies do the talking today guys because I have someΒ BIG news to share with y’all soon. Today is a bittersweet day for me – it’s one of the last days I’m spending in Leuven, the beautiful city where I’ve been studying and living with my partner J for the past two years. We’ve had so many wonderful memories here, I plan on spending the day going back to a few of my favorite spots I’ve fallen in love with while living in this old city. More news to come on that frontΒ soon but for now here’s the recipe to these awesomeΒ Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies, YUM!

These Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies are completely flourless. They are extremely chewy, thick and filled with melty chocolate chunks. The sprinkle of sea salt on top after these cookies brings out the caramel undertones and sweetness of the coconut sugar used in these cookies!
Author: Ceara
Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Serves: 10 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1½ tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 heaping cup all natural peanut butter*
  • ½ tbsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tbsp unsulfured molasses
  • ¾ cup coconut sugar or cane sugar
  • ½ tsp sea salt + pinch for on top
  • ¾ tsp baking soda
  • ¾ cup oats
  • 1 - 2 tsp of water
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chunks + 2 tbsp sprinkling on top
Directions
  1. Make your chia "eggs" by mixing together 1½ tbsp of chia seeds with 4½ tbsp of water in a large bowl. Stir. Set aside and leave to thicken until an egg-like gel is formed for 5 minutes.
  2. Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract and unsulfured molasses to the chie "egg". Mix together with a spoon (the dough will be thick!). Stir in coconut sugar, sea salt, baking soda and oats. Mix together. I like to do this last part with clean hands because the dough is very thick. Add a couple teaspoons of water if the dough is too thick (I added 2 teaspoons of water). Mix in dark chocolate chunks and form the dough into a ball.
  3. Cover dough and stick in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or in the freezer for 15 minutes (if you are pinched for time!).
  4. Pre-heat oven to 350F/175C. Line a baking pan with parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat.
  5. Scoop and roll the cookie dough into 10 -11 equal sized cookies. I like to scoop the cookie dough with a cookie scoop to make this step easier. Place the cookie dough balls on the pan and press them down lightly with the palm of your hand. Press a couple chocolate chunks on top of each cookie.
  6. Bake for 9 - 10 minutes until the cookies are just baked (do not over-bake them!). Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Leave the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes before moving the cookies to a cooling rack.
Notes
1) Make sure your peanut butter is well-stirred and moderately runny - not too oily and not too dry. If your peanut butter is too dry then your cookies will be too dry - if your peanut butter is too oily then your cookies will be too oily. Give your all natural peanut butter a good stir before using it in these cookies.

Ceara, these are the best cookies acclaimed by non plant based eaters as well. Technically the peanut butter is off limits to me but this is my cheat-treat. I am 7mts. into plant based eating and since I am the only one in the family the others are forced to go along for the most part. i look forward to using some of your other recipes. Thanks Clem

I subbed 1/2 cup of the sugar for a mashed banana and some agave then just added some desiccated coconut and whole wheat flour to dry up the dough. They turned out great! (I like my coconut sugar sparingly since its expensive) πŸ˜›

Great recipe! I’m an amateur baker at best but these are somewhat foolproof if I can survive them. Loved how I didn’t need any fancy tools and i just picked up all the ingredients at a bulk store real quick.
These are also crazy filling and I’m using that as an excuse to slam them for breakfast.
