Anytime Nut Butter Chip & Oat Cookies – Gluten-free & vegan

I love to share a great cookie recipe like these Anytime Nut Butter Chip & Oat Cookies.  And these oat cookies are delicious!

I am convinced if you served these to your friends, family, or guests, they would never know they were on the healthy side.

This healthier oatmeal and chocolate chip cookie is made with nut butter instead of straight butter or shortening, providing you with healthy fat. Feel free to use any nut butter you like.

My favorite kinds of nut butter for these chip and oat cookies are peanut butter and SunButter.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2/3 cup peanut butter ~ or any flavor or your choice. I’ve also used sunflower seed butter for nut-free.
  • 1 cup dry sweetener ~ I used beet sugar
  • 2 Tbsp ground flaxseeds
  • 4 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 2/3 cups old fashioned rolled oats ~ I used gluten-free
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup sorghum flour ~ or any healthy flour you like. I used Pamela’s Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour – Artisan Blend.
  • 1 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips ~ I used Enjoy Life Allergy Friendly Brand. I like to add 1/2 cup regular size chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips.
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts ~ optional, omit for nut-free

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven to 350. Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone liner.
  • In a large mixing bowl add applesauce, peanut butter or nut/seed butter, sugar, flaxseeds, and vanilla. Mix well.
  • Add oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  • Stir in flour. Fold in chocolate chips and optional nuts.
  • Using a medium-size cookie scoop, about 2 Tbsp, place cookie dough on the baking sheets. Flatten out the dough a little.
  • Bake for 12-14 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and let them sit for about 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and continue to cool.

Notes

These don’t last well sitting out at room temperature for more than a day or so. I freeze mine and then take them out the day I eat them. They defrost quickly but are irresistibly good frozen too!
