Ingredients

3/4 cup quick oats use gluten-free if needed
3/4 cup oat flour use gluten-free if needed
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1/2 cup coconut sugar you can also swap for brown sugar
1 flax egg (1 Tablespoon flax meal + 2 1/2 Tablespoons filtered water)
3 Tablespoons creamy peanut butter
5 Tablespoons melted coconut oil you can also measure 1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350F.
Make the flax egg: first, in a small dish or bowl, mix together 1 Tablespoon of flax meal with 2 1/2 Tablespoons filtered water. Let sit for 5 minutes until it thickens.
Mix together wet ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together peanut butter, melted coconut oil, vanilla, coconut sugar, and flax egg.
Add dry ingredients: then in the same bowl, add oat flour, quick oats, baking soda, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon. Mix until combined, then fold in chocolate chips.
Form dough balls: use a cookie scoop to measure the dough balls and arrange them on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread dough balls about 3 inches from one another.
And bake! Bake cookies for 8 minutes, then let cool for 10 minutes before enjoying! Store in refrigerator in a ziplock bag for best results.

Notes

Make it gluten-free - you can use gluten-free oat flour and quick oats to make this GF-friendly!

Use a quality natural peanut butter - For best results, I recommend using natural peanut butter because it's very creamy and will give the best texture to your cookies. Most peanut butter has added fillers, oils, and sugars in them (which I don't recommend) - here is my favorite peanut butter brand to use for baking and eating!

Use a cookie scoop for perfect cookie dough measurements! Rather than guessing how big or small the cookies should be, you can use this cookie scoop to make things super easy.
