I’ve always had trouble healthifying cookies because cookies always contain ingredients I don’t use, in large quantities, such as butter, sugar, and white flour. But ALAS, I have finally perfected the recipe for these Healthy Chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies! These secretly guilt-free cookies are refined sugar free, gluten free, dairy free, eggless, and vegan, but you would never ever EVER suspect it.
These Chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies don’t taste healthy at all. They’re flavorful, rich, and decadent, and practically bursting with peanut butter essence with every whiff, and obviously, every bite.
Each bite is full of sweetness and an addicting chewy texture.
It takes some serious self restraint to stop at one. That’s why I never do 😉
After a taste of these Healthy Chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies, I fell in love.
It’s hard not to love a big ol’ cookie. When it comes to cookies, we can all agree on one thing:
BIGGER = BETTER!
Am I right or am I right? Yes, I’m right.
Healthy Chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
These Chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies don’t taste healthy at all. They’re flavorful, rich, and decadent, and practically bursting with peanut butter essence with every bite.
- 13g (2 tbs) Ground Flaxseed
- 10g (1 packed tbs) Corn Starch
- 6 tbs Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk
- 128g (½ cup) Natural Peanut Butter
- 49g (3½ tbs) Coconut Oil (melted)
- 28g (4 tsp) Molasses
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ tsp Liquid Stevia Extract
- 144g (1½ cups) Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
- 96g (½ cup) Granulated Erythritol
- ½ tsp Double Acting Baking Powder
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Salt
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
-
In a stand mixer bowl fitted with a beater attachment, add the flax, starch, and almond milk. Mix on low speed until fully combined. Add the peanut butter, coconut oil, molasses, vanilla extract, and stevia extract. Mix again until fully combined.
-
In a large bowl, stir together the oats, erythritol, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Dump the dry ingredients into the stand mixer bowl and mix until fully combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
-
Scoop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheets (I used a black size 30 scooper/disher). Flatten the cookie dough mounds slightly, then bake for ~12 minutes. Let cookies cool, then serve and enjoy!

Quite a few cookies went “missing” as they cooled on the counter. Who stole my cookies?!? I’m at a loss because I’m home alone with a full stomach, and cookie crumbs on my hands.
But no worries, whoever ate them (wink wink) shouldn’t feel guilty one bit — these Chewy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies are 100% natural, healthy, and of course, damn delicious!
Enjoy!
