Flourless Oatmeal Cookies
Description
Get the Recipe: Flourless Oatmeal Cookies feature a mix of all natural creamy peanut butter and rolled oats as the base. The oats provide a chewy texture while the peanut butter contributes richness and moistness. Maple syrup or honey adds natural sweetness without refined sugar, and chocolate chips are folded in for bursts of richness within each bite. Baking powder helps the cookies maintain a little lift despite the absence of conventional flour.
These cookies are baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 8 to 9 minutes to ensure they are soft and slightly gooey in the middle instead of dry or crispy. The batter is sticky, so scooping dough balls with a spoon makes shaping easier. Cooling on the pan before transferring prevents breakage.
The cookies store well at room temperature for a few days and even taste good chilled. They are a practical treat for those wanting a flourless option but still enjoying the comforting texture of oats and peanut butter combined with chocolate chips.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter all natural creamy
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 cup gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- ¾ tsp baking powder
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, add creamy peanut butter, eggs, vanilla and maple syrup. Stir to combine.
- Then, add in oats and baking powder. Stir to combine.
- Fold in chocolate chips.
- Use a spoon to scoop balls of dough onto parchment paper. Dough should make about 10 cookies.
- Next, bake for 8 to 9 minutes.
- Finally, remove from oven. Allow cookies to cool on pan for 5 minutes. Lastly, transfer to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Use all natural creamy peanut butter containing only peanuts and salt for best flavor and texture.
- Rolled oats should be used, not quick oats, and select certified gluten free oats if needed.
- You can substitute honey for maple syrup if preferred.
- The dough will be sticky; scoop portions with a spoon rather than rolling.
- Bake cookies until centers are still slightly gooey to keep softness.
- Store baked cookies covered at room temperature for up to three days, or refrigerate to enjoy chilled.
