Ingredients

  • ¼ cup brown sugar (40 grams)
  • ¼ cup natural, smooth peanut butter (64 grams, no added salt or sugar)
  • ⅓ cup warm vegan milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup oat flour (80 grams)
  • ½ cup whole old-fashioned oats (40 gram)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons vegan chocolate chips (30 grams)

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the brown sugar, peanut butter, vegan milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth.
  • Add the oat flour, whole oats, and baking powder to the wet ingredients. Using a silicone spatula or spoon, gently mix until well combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips. Cover and chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Scoop about one tablespoon of dough per cookie and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each cookie with a fork.
  • Bake for 15 minutes, then let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool for another 15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. To make oat flour, simply take old-fashioned oats and blend them until they are flour-like. You can use just about any blender. I use my Oster blender or Nutribullet - depending on how large of a batch I am blending up. 
  2. If you want to opt out of peanut butter, use sun butter instead. m
  3. This recipe makes about 12 small cookies, or 6 large cookies. 
  4. These cookies are mostly WFPB, so they will be more dense than your typical cookies. But they're still soft and chewy!
