Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Peanut butter oatmeal cookies stacked.

This peanut butter oatmeal cookies recipe is a great opportunity to make something yummy out of easy baking! And if you like both peanut butter and baking cookies then this recipe is a must. Freshly baked cookies are hands down the BEST cookies!

We felt inspired to make some cookies after our Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal recipe that included some of that flavor, so we came up with this one. These cookies turned out to be so soft and chewy with that AMAZING peanut butter flavor!

You don't need any fancy ingredients to make these cookies and they are likely to become ones that you just keep making more of, either because you feel like getting some or because the people you share them with keep asking for more.

Let's now take a look at the ingredients...

Ingredients

As we said before, these peanut butter oatmeal cookies don't need any fancy ingredients. For sure, the peanut butter and the oats are absolutely necessary, but the rest you can even play around with their amounts (or even skip some of them).

The actual amounts will be on the recipe card below.

  • Oats – We recommend you use old fashioned oats and not quick oats for this meal.
  • All-purpose flour – Use a non-GMO, no preservatives option such as the King Arthur All Purpose Flour.
  • Peanut butter – You could use organic creamy or chunky peanut butter, or could even make it yourself.
  • Baking soda – There are MANY baking soda options out there, but make sure you get yourself a healthy one such as the Relative Foods Baking Soda. We want to make sure we're taking care of what we put in our body!
  • Sea salt – We almost always prefer to go with sea salt as opposed to regular salt, given it is well-known for being less processed than table salt.
  • Ground cinnamon – Don't skip this one if you want your cookies to have that yummy cinnamon trace.
  • Unsalted butter – Have it at room temperature and make sure it's a high quality butter, no salt and as organic as possible.
  • Granulated sugar – You could also use honey or your favorite granulated sugar, but we prefer this granulated sugar for this particular recipe.
  • Brown sugar – For added taste and that browny cookie look!
  • Egg – Make sure it comes from free range and pasture-raised chicken. Again, we want to take care of our health in everything we eat!
  • Vanilla extract – For added flavor of those cookies! Consider a high-quality vanilla extract for better results.
