Flourless Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Yes. Flour-less. How? Keep reading. Crispy on the outside; soft and chewy on the inside; full of creamy peanut butter flavour and melted chocolate chips. I promise you…there’s good stuff in here. And it doesn’t involve a whole entire jar of peanut butter either.

No beans. Or chickpeas. I solemnly swear and promise you on my baking bible.

Unless you’ve ripped right down to the recipe (which I’m guilty of too, your honour), the secret is oats. And oat flour. Gluten free Oats can be used too. But beloved Oats come riding in on a milky white horse to save the day.

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies-7

Usually in Oatmeal cookies, there’s a perfect delicate balance of white flour and Oats. But not today my friends! Because over here I like to try different things and live my life on the edge.

And they worked! I thought they’d turn out gluggy and just wrong. But they didn’t.

See? I like pointing out the obvious.

And you know what makes these even more insane?

The addictiveness. The can’t-put-the-tray-down-without-taking-another-5-before-crying-and-they’re-all-gone-and-the-moment-is-over thing. Ohhhhh hellooooo cookiiieesssss……

The Peanut Butter flavour in these is even more insane than the cookies themselves. Especially when they just came out of the oven with those steaming hot melty chocolate chips. I may have given myself 9,4296% degree burns and blown 67% of my taste buds. But the other 33% were extremely pleased with the flavour. Did I lose you? Yeah, I’m really not a numbers person.

Food blogger example: I tried stopping at one. Didn’t happen. I, um, needed to keep trying them to see if the flavour and texture were right. You know? So I tried again — to stop after the second one, and my brain was like, ‘Karina….really? You don’t know me by now?’  And yes, the same thing happened with the other 3 batches I baked. Ahem.

By this stage, I realised, stopping was not an option. Giving the whole entire tray to my kids was my option. And running far from the smell of peanut buttery melty-ness like Road Runner. My life depended on it.

    Batch made less than 30 and needed like 20 min to bake, but delicious. Thank you for the recipe… Im happy for making for the first time healthy cookies that came out normal and delicious vs conjuring up a demon which is how unsuccessful I usually am 😉

      Hi Iruaku. You’re right! No need to melt the oil, just make sure it’s at room temperature and easy to mix into the sugar 😉

        I have a couple of questions. As you use P.B powder, will the consistency of the cookies come out altered if regular PB is used? If I omit any type of peanut butter at all, will it need anything added? Thnks-
        I wanted to ask questions above first for those who might have the same questions before I raved about your website. below : )
        I have crossed paths here in past recipe searches, just not as in-depth as today.I absolutely love your humor, passion for cooking, and your elation for eating the final product. I appreciate honest cooking insights and tips. You even make recipe fails that resulted in delicious celebratory successes fun and not so discouraging as they can be. It’s like I found a new friend 🙂
