VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIES



Vegan Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies image

This is another recipe from I.C.Moskowitz' and T.H.Romero's awesome book "Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar", that I tried out recently. It makes for delish, chunky cookies with lots and lots of peanut flavour. The original recipe called for roasted, chopped peanuts as the add-in, but I didnt have any so I used pb chips and chocolate chips instead. Feel free to use the nuts or a mix of nuts and chips. Ive also posted my healthified version of this recipe.

Time 25m

Yield 22 chunky cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup whole wheat flour (I use whole spelt flour)
1/3 cup all-purpose flour (I use spelt flour)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon, ground
2 cups oats (I used a mix of barley, rye, spelt, buckwheat flakes and oats)
1 cup dry roasted salted peanuts or 1/2 cup vegan semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup vegan pb chips
1/2 cup applesauce (no sugar added, all natural)
1/2 cup creamy natural-style peanut butter
1/8 cup Splenda sugar substitute
1/8 cup dark brown sugar (or 1 tbs splenda brown sugar blend)
1/3 cup non-dairy milk (e.g. vanilla soy milk)
4 teaspoons ground flax seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a big bowl combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and oats. Add in peanuts or chocolate chips and pb chips and stir to combine.
  • In a second bowl beat together applesauce, peanut butter, sugars, ground flax seeds and vanilla.
  • Add the liquid to the dry ingredients and stir to combine. If your dough seems too wet to handle, add in more flour, if its too dry, add a tad more milk.
  • Drop generous tbs full of dough per cookie onto a paper-lined or greased baking sheet leaving some space between the cookies (these wont spread much). Flatten cookies slightly using moistened fingers or a spoon.
  • Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F/175°C for about 15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. These cookies are more cake-like, so they wont crisp up.
  • Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes and then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
  • Enjoy! :).

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. Overripe bananas with dark brown skins are ideal, as they contribute a sweeter, richer flavor to the cookies.
  • Mash the bananas well. Use a fork or a potato masher to mash the bananas until they are smooth and creamy. This will help the cookies bind together.
  • Chill the dough. Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape better and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This helps the cookies brown and crisp on the outside while remaining soft and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool before enjoying. The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. Let them cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before enjoying.

Conclusion:

These vegan peanut butter oatmeal cookies are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option. They are made with simple, wholesome ingredients and are packed with flavor.
