Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies (V+GF): An easy recipe for soft, deliciously textured cookies with oats, coconut, and LOTS of peanut butter and chocolate. Vegan and Gluten Free.
Confession time: peanut butter and I weren’t always besties. Okay, now before you gasp and guffaw over this confession (wait, you guffawed?), hear me out. We’re all friends here; this is a safe place for exposing our most embarrassing, most vulnerable vulnerabilities and such. Right? ☺ For instance, I tend to me be dramatic… again, only with my pen. Erm, keyboard. No judgments, right?
Anywho, back to PB. Well, for a long time throughout my adventurous youth, I did not like peanut butter. Not one bit. It was so dry, too salty, not salty enough, NOT chocolate, and so many other perceived-to-be negative attributes. But worst of all, I feared and respected it.
Yep, exactly like how Danny Castellano felt about the sea.
Okay, so do you remember that ridiculously torturous Got Milk commercial with the dog? Omigosh, I feel bad just thinking about it! Okay, if you haven’t seen it, this is what happens (more or less according to my patchy memory): Some evil kid holds out a ginormous spoon of peanut butter to a dog. The gorgeous, kind, and completely unawares dog starts licking the spoon. Happy and ignorant of what’s to come, of course. Dun dun dun!!!!!
Alright, this is some kind of scene out of a Hallmark card right? What’s Demeter tripping about? Why is she talking in third person? Let me tell you why—and hey, maybe some POV distancing helps me to cope with the torture that is this commercial.
Okay, so the dog is licking the peanut butter and in basic doggie heaven. Then, the spoon gets taken away and the dog begins licking its lips, to somehow be able to swallow all of that peanut butter. But it doesn’t happen. The dog just keeps licking it lips or whatever, going on and on… And it has no clue what to do. I mean, where is that evil kid with some water or… ya know, milk?!? And so the commercial ends on that stunning cliffhanger. Will the dog get some kind of water so it can just go play in a pool or chase butterflies?
We’ll never know.
And that, my friends, is why I feared and respected peanut butter. Eventually I grew up… ish. And realized, hey! I can and will get my own glass of milk/water/coffee to go with any peanut butter goodness that I please. There’s no evil kid here! I’m not a dog… Huh. Whoever thought I’d say that sentence?
Anyway, once you get peanut butter (and the need for liquid accompaniments), you just GET it. It’s not dry; it’s thick and rich. It’s not too salty; it’s just right. It’s still not chocolate, but guess what? Chocolate and peanut butter are even bigger besties than me and peanut butter. Or Chandler and Joey. Or Ross and, um, Dinosaurs.
Alright, now I see how I have the attention-span of a dog. Maybe that’s why I felt for the little guy so much. Ahem.
Cut to a decade later and my love and admiration (isn’t that so much better than fear and respect?) for peanut butter is vast. Think: the amount of peanut butter that Americans eat in one year vast. Fun fact: that’s three pounds of PB per American per year.
At least according to the Texas Peanut Butter Board. 😉 Geez… that must be a delicious board.
So here we are, embarking upon another peanut butter love recipe. Welcome friends, to this new, amazing, delicious, and just perfect Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie. Gather ‘round, grab a super large mug of coffee, glass of milk, or just plain ol’ water.
It’s time to get your peanut butter on!
These cookies are the perfect marriage between peanut butter and chocolate. Doesn’t just seeing those two ingredients together make you feel good? ☺ You’ve got the rich, nutty, pretty-much indescribable peanut butter nirvana delicately balanced with sweet, dark, blissful dollops of chocolate chips. Then, a complementary appearance of lightly crunchy shreds of coconut.
What more could you really ask for? These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies are:
- soft and perfectly textured
- vegan and gluten free
- made with simple ingredients you can feel good about
- stuffed full of peanut butter & chocolate chips
- kid-tested and adult-approved

- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- ¾ cup gluten free oat flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup natural, unsalted peanut butter (make sure to use naturally liquidy PB)
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ½ cup coconut sugar*
- ¼ cup pure maple syrup
- 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flax + 6 tablespoons warm water, whisked together, set for 15 mins)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup vegan chocolate chips
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, coconut, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: peanut butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs and vanilla.
- Add the dry mixture to wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir and fold until you get a cohesive dough. Fold in chocolate chips.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop 2 tablespoon-sized cookie dough balls onto the cookie sheet, spaced evenly apart. Flatten to desired shape--these cookies won't spread too much. Bake for 8-10 minutes.
- Using a flat, heatproof spatula, carefully lift the cookies off the baking sheet and place onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool. Enjoy!
- Store in an airtight container for 1-2 weeks.

Wow! Not like peanut butter!! I’m so glad you’ve changed your mind (er tastebuds) on that because what would we do without all the delicious recipes you make with peanut butter? One question, though, tomorrow’s Friday and since you do recommend some sort of beverage with these cookies, does wine work ? Lol.,..what a silly girl I am. Of course it does! Wine works with everything 😀 😀 Pinning, of course! Have a lovely weekend, Demeter! xo
It was the fear factor D. The fear factor!!! Lol. D’aw… thank you my dear. 🙂 LOL. I think wine goes with EVERYTHING. Especially more wine. 😉 Thanks for pinning and, just everything, D. xoxo
I totally remember that commercial! And I actually always think about the same thing when I hear that people put peanut butter on dogs noses for them to lick off. It’s kind of nice, yet mean, at the same time…and such a tease! That poor dog must get tired from licking. I’m glad you discovered your love of peanut butter! I have always loved it, so I’m just oogling at these gorgeous cookies. Peanut butter and chocolate make the best combo! Pinned!
Yay, you remember it!! But not… yeah. Totally teasing! And in the case of the commericial… just torture. SO mean! PB cookies + milk to the rescue! Thanks for pinning and stopping by, G. 😉
Glad you rediscovered peanut butter and these cookies look awesome! I can’t wait to try them! I make muffins with similar ingredients and I’m sure the cookies taste awesome! Pinned! Gave a nice weekend!
Right? Oh, the things I was missing out on. Lol. Let me know what you think! Muffins + cookies: they all sound great to me. 🙂 Thanks Mira. 🙂
Wow Demeter, these cookies look incredibly delicious! I’ll take two! 🙂
Thanks Marsha! 🙂 Take three! 😉 <3
I had NO clue you use to fear the PB, girlfriend! I have always had a deep seated love for all things peanut butter, but I never saw that “Got Milk” commercial… sooo? <– Which I'm thankful for, because I'm not a fan of puppy abuse, especially when it is weird and twisted… and involves peanut butter. 😉
Anywho, LOVE these cookies, D! They look super soft and perfectly studded with chocolate! But I reallllllly love that you added coconut to these! AND these have an oatmeal cookie base!!! Yaaahhhs girlfriend, Yaaahs! Sending you virtual high fives for these beauties! Pinned! Cheers, sweetness – to a fabulous weekend! xo
Yup!! That commercial was powerful, let me tell you. Lol. I’m grateful you didn’t see it either!! Aw, thanks, Chey! More Yaaahs and high fives back to ya. 😉 Thanks for pinning and stopping by, friend! xo
That is what my morning fun is about, reading your posts to the last word! I like them a lot! if I’ve never seen that commercial, but I love peanut butter. I had my first peanut butter and jam spread on toast in 2007 when I first came to Canada to visit my pen pal friend. Never had it before. And I was hooked. Your cookies are divine, I pinned them, of course.
Aw, thank you so, so much for saying that Nicoletta. That really means a lot to me. 🙂 Oh gosh, pb+j is the best, isn’t it? Thanks for pinning and stopping by Nic! <3
Ha! I love The Mindy Project (nice reference) 😉 I’m so glad you came around on peanut butter because these cookies are just outstanding! You’ve combined my 3 favorite cookies into one! Pinning, of course!
Right?! So funny! Yeah, I finally came to my senses… Lol. Woot woot! What’s better than a tri-favorite combo cookie? That should be a thing, asap! Thanks Kathleen. 🙂
I don’t remember that commercial…I probably blocked it from my memory…I’m not upset about that! 😉 But these cookies are a different story! Truth is – I’m going to have the toughest time removing them from my memory until I have some! Do you deliver?
Right? That would’ve been the best move, I think… Lol. Haha. No delivery yet, but def the recipe! 😉 I hope you get a chance to try these, Annie. 🙂
Haha – I don’t mean to laugh, but I am so amused that that Got Milk commercial with the dog had you repel away from PB – but I’m glad you are pals with it now! PB came into my life later on – I didn’t grow up with PB&J sandwiches nor did I realize the joy of PB & Chocolate till I came here to the State for college – and your cookies sound and look wonderful!
So glad I stumbled by!
Oh no worries–if there’s one thing I can do, it’s make everyone here laugh at my zany childhood adventures. 😉 Yup, we are the best of friends now! Oh gosh, PB + Chocolate is the BEST!! Thanks so much Shashi. I hope to see you again soon! 🙂
OK, I can forgive you your former dislike of peanut butter because you currently make so many delicious pb treats, and especially because of this cookie. OMG, this cookie! I really want to just reach into my screen and grab a stack and eat them, like right now. Also somehow I have no memory of that got milk commercial, which is weird. I probably blocked it out because I too would feel terrible for the dog. Anyway, pinning this!
Haha. Thanks, Meghan! You’re too kind. 😉 Did ya try reaching? Hehe… Yeah, you’re better off not remembering that commercial. It was so sad… Thanks my dear!
YUMMY! More peanut butter! My son (and I) would love these cookies!! I love that you made them soft cause he is still not good at eating anything too hard. Am I a mean person for giving peanut butter to my dog to watch him repeatedly lick his lips? LOL! My dog LOVES peanut butter, haha. He has good taste. I’m going to try to make these for my son over the weekend 🙂 Thanks for posting another delicious recipe!
Haha. It’s so funny–you happened to check out two of my PB posts that came out many months apart. Lol. No, not mean as long at the bowl of water is nearby! 😉 Thanks for stopping by, Amanda. 🙂
I have never seen that commercial, nut I love peanut butter. And I am so happy that you found your love for peanut butter. And these PB chocolate chip cookies droolicious. Demeter. I so want hem in my life. I can’t wait to try them! Pinning it, so that I know I have to try these, but I wouldn’t mind, if send me a parcel! 😉 Have a beautiful weekend my friend!
Count yourself lucky! Hehe. I am so, so loving your use of the word droolicious btw. To me, that word is so Anu. 😉 Haha–I’ll let you know if I begin an overnight delivery service. 😉 Thanks for pinning! Have a great weekend as well. xo
These cookies look absolutely marvelous! I’m so glad that stack in not in front of me because I’d devour the whole thing in about one minute. Or less. Or my. So good!!! But pb is big around here, honestly, I think I probably consume more than 3 pounds a year. And peanut and chocolate….speechless. Have a great weekend Demeter!!
Lol. Well, you get points for gusto! 😉 I hope you get to try these out, Laura. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend too! 😉
I distinctly remember that Got Milk commercial but it had no effect whatsoever on my love of peanut butter. I actually now go through periods where I can’t eat it which is just super sad for someone who was never without their peanut butter and jelly sandwich at lunch. These cookies are a perfect combination of all my favorite things-so yummy I keep staring at them.
To each their own! 😉 Hopefully those periods don’t last too long. Stare happily. 😉 Thanks Megan!
Confession – I didn’t like peanut butter when I was younger too! But it’s definitely growing on me as I get older. In fact, some days I just craved peanut butter on a whole wheat bagel. Isn’t it funny how our tastes change with time? 😉
Hey, we can be PB buddies then! 😉 It’s such a different experience as we get older–especially since natural peanut butter is so readily available these days. So funny. But good. 🙂 Thanks Sarah. 😉
Vegan … gluten free… cookies … superb demeter. This is an All in one best cookie. Looks rich and tasty.
You are on a chocolate and peanut butter ROLL, girl!! Keep them coming! I am a peanut butter addict – it’s hard for me to even have it in the house because I have no, and I mean ZERO self control, but it will be worth it to make these delectable babies! Happy weekend! xo
Haha. Thanks Kate! That sounds like a roll I’ve love to eat. 😉 Fellow PB addict here, my dear. Hope you enjoy these cookies + the weekend! xo
So good you love peanut butter now, because these cookies look fabulous (obviously pinned)! The texture looks so perfect!
Your fear of peanut butter made me laugh so hard now. I have to admit I am one of those evil kids, who love to give pb to their dogs. There is nothing funnier than a dog suffering with peanut butter 😀
Also so great, that there was an actual commercial like this! So far I only knew Jenna Marbles’ video about being the same ahole with dogs. It’s good to know that there are other people in the world torturing dogs. And keeping small Demeters in fear. I’m so glad now 😀
Right? What would my life be without PB… quite sad. Lol. Oh, Evi, you would totally love the texture!
OMG!!! So you’re the culprit! Did you happen to be cast in a Got Milk commercial… say 15 years ago? 😉 😉
STOP!!! You are cracking me up so bad! You are wicked! Lololololololol. Okay, I’m sooooo not gonna visit you with baked goods anymore, just to stand in solidarity with these poor sweet dogs. 😉 J/k! xo
I also never liked peanut butter until college!!! I used to want so badly to like it so I could eat PBJs like everyone else. I would try a spoonful out of the jar and say bleh!! Finally one day it clicked and the addiction ensued. Love the recipe, looks delish 🙂
That’s so funny, Sydney! Sometimes things just don’t work… until they do. Isn’t that the best though? 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
I need a big ol’ plate of these cookies that I can stuff my face with because I am starving right now!! I’m on a detox diet and sugar and grains are a no-no. Whatever, I’m pinning and will make them later 😉 So glad you like PB now and shared this recipe with us all 🙂
These are so delicious and just the right texture and my kids loved them too. I used “chia seed” eggs because I didn’t have flax seed and they needed about 5 extra minutes in the oven to slightly brown.
Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Melissa! I’m so happy that you (and the kids) enjoyed these. 🙂 When the kids and the adults are happy, we’ve got a winner! Thank you for letting me know about the chia eggs sub–good to know that that works! That extra browning time sounds like you might’ve gotten just the perfect, slightly crispy cookie. Nice! Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment. Hope to see you again soon! 🙂
Any good replacement for the coconut? Thanks!
Hi Megan, I’m not sure, to be honest–the coconut lends a really tasty, slightly sweet flavor and texture. You could possibly try more oats? But that might make the cookies a bit too oat-y (unless you like it that way). Sorry I couldn’t be of more help! Let me know how it turns out. 🙂
Hi! I am planing to make these for my son but I have some questions: can I use real egg instead of substitute and how many if yes. Also can I try to make them with some other butters, like almond or sunflower seeds (he can’t have peanuts) thank you for your recipe and for your answer!
Hi Maggie! Egg: I’ve never tried this with chicken eggs, but it should work about the same. Try 2 chicken eggs. Butter: Yes! Use natural almond butter–the kind you have to stir. Looking forward to hearing how these turn out! 🙂 I hope your son (and you) enjoy these. 🙂
Your Danny Castellano reference made. my. day. That is all. Just kidding. Also I pinned these ridiculous cookies because they include all of my favorite things and look freaking fantastic 🙂 Bog Hogs, D!
That is all: Lololololol. Stephanie, I have missed your humor like crazy! 😉 All of the best cookies in the world are in this cookie–except for chocolate thumbprints, raspberry linzers, mint… okay, fine. They’re not all in here. Bahaha. Dang it! 😉 Thank you, my friend. Biggest Bog Hogs ever!! <3
Maybe it’s just me but these cookies reminded me of a mix of a chocolate peanut butter shake + hot chocolate. I think it was the beautiful mix of cinnamon, peanut butter, coconuts, and chocolate chips! Such an amazing recipe! I can’t stop eating them!!
Oh wow, that sounds like the best flavor combo EVER! You’ve totally got me inspired to work on a smoothie/frappe with those two flavors, Liz! 😉 I’m so happy that you enjoyed my recipe. Thank you for taking the time to let me know! 🙂
So happy I was able to inspire an idea! Can’t wait to find out and try this new concoction ????????
Yeah! I can’t wait to start testing it! Thanks again, Liz! 🙂
These cookies are the most amazing delights I have ever eaten in my life, spanning almost 6 decades! And totally legal in my new cancer fighting food regimen by using dairy free chocolate. Thanks for sharing this incredible recipe. I’m glad I made a double batch but am paying at the scale! Totally worth it!!!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Clint! 🙂 I’m so happy that you enjoyed these, and even happier that they fit into your food regimen. And seriously, a double batch is just smart baking. 😉 Enjoy!
I have a quick question, I have rolled oats but they’re quick oats, can I use these for this recipe?
Hi Ella, sure, I think it’ll be just fine to substitute quick oats for the rolled oats in this recipe. The cookies will probably be just a bit softer (since rolled oats have a chewier texture). Hope you enjoy them! 🙂
Hi Demeter,
I want to make these amazing looking cookies but my husband hates coconut. Any ideas for a substitution?
Thanks,
Jocelyn
Hi Jocelyn, you could try a combo of more oats and mini chocolate chips. 🙂 It’s my pleasure. Happy baking!
This cookies were delicious and help with my 3pm snack attacks! Thank you. I was wondering if it would work to bake these as muffins…… any comments or thoughts on how to do so?
Hi Dalissa, so glad to hear you enjoyed these! 🙂 3pm snack attacks are the craziest! 😉 Do you mean as cookie cups or traditional muffins?
Yes! Would the steps be that much different?
I’m not 100% sure because I’ve never baked these in a muffin pan before, but here’s my best guess: Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough into each cavity of a greased muffin pan. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden around the edges. Allow to cool completely, then pop them out and enjoy! Can’t wait to hear how it turns out! 🙂
I love, love this recipe that I made by ‘accident’. I was planning on making an almond butter recipe for an event but saw too late that it had to be chilled for over an hour, so I made yours instead with almond butter. You used a lot of basics I keep stocked (shredded coconut, coconut sugar, etc.). They tasted like Almond Joy cookies.
The only problem was I showed up to the event only to discover it was the following week. Content to make them again I freaked when I couldn’t find the recipe again. I had forgotten about the almond butter switch, so I was using the wrong search criteria. This time I was set on chocolate/cranberry so I mixed the two. They’re still in the oven.
That’s so wonderful to hear, Paula! It absolutely makes my day to hear feedback like yours–especially if it comes with a story. 🙂 Chilling for an hour: aw, dang. I try my best to make recipes that skip the whole chilling business. Lol. The quicker and easier, the better, right? 🙂 Basics: Yep! If all of us can avoid having to go pick up special ingredients, then all our lives are easier. Haha. Glad you found my recipe again. Chocolate, cranberry and PB sounds SO good together! Good luck with the event! Big hugs. xo
I just made these cookies and they turned out NOTHING like everyone else is saying. Followed the recipe exactly and they are not good at all. They are not chewy, they are dry and crumbly.
I’m so sorry to hear that, Andrea. 🙁 I’m not sure what happened–this recipe has been tried around the world by many readers with success. Sounds like there was an issue with the wet ingredient ratio. When you mixed the wet ingredients together, did it resemble caramel?
Anyone ever try a different oil for theses? Curious! Thank you!
Hi Demeter, so excited to have tried this recipe today!! I’ve noticed that in many baking recipes I’ve tried that have coconut oil, the dough ends up being really wet/oily. And remains the same even after cooking. Do you have any advice for me? Is this normal or should I do something differently?? The only thing I changed in this recipe was using almond flour because that is what I had on hand. But I normally follow recipes as directed and they still turn out oily. Help!! 🙂
Hi Dani, hmm… well, in regards to this recipe, I think the issue would’ve been subbing the almond flour for oat flour. Almond flour is considerably less absorbent than oat flour–as such, the dough will be much more oily. Typically, a change in flour can lead to some unexpected (and unpleasant lol consequences). <-- I've SO been there! Hope this helps! 🙂
Is it ok to omit cinnamon?
The friend I am making them for has an allergy to it.
Hi Brenda, yep, that’s totally fine! 🙂 Can’t wait to hear what you think.
Thank you for the quick reply. Except for the cinnamon
I followed the recipe and ended up with the most delicious cookies ever! I will give my friend half tomorrow but my husband and I are definitely keeping the other half. We’ve had two each already and are trying not to devour them all tonight. They are that good!!!
My pleasure! 🙂 Woohoo!! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed the cookies! I think giving your friend half is a good and very tasty plan. 😉 I really appreciate you reporting back and letting me know your thoughts. Enjoy!
I am not a big coconut fan. Can I just leave it out of this recipe and they will still turn out ok?
Hi JoAnne, here’s a version without the coconut: https://beamingbaker.com/easy-gluten-free-peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-oatmeal-cookies-healthy-vegan-gluten-free-oat-flour-dairy-free/ Enjoy! 🙂
I just found this recipe today and made them for my weekly treat. They are sooooo… good, chewy, crispy, gooey, coconutty, chocolatey, and so delish! I think these will become a staple for me. Love that they are vegan, use oats & oat flour and not too much sugar – while still tasting like a treat!
Hi Peggy! I’m so happy to hear that you enjoyed my recipe. 🙂 Everything you listed is exactly what I was going for! 😉 Thanks for taking the time to let me know how they turned out for you.
These cookies were a perfect snow day cookie! We always bake at my house on snow days and I wanted a new recipe to try. Well this will definitely be a new go to. I made the oat flour, used butter instead of coconut oil and two normal eggs. They were so yummy! Thanks for the keeper recipe!
Baking on snow days is so much fun! Loved hearing about your subs & homemade oat flour. Thank you for stopping by and letting me know. Enjoy!
Hi Demeter/Beaming Baker
I was in desperate need of a chocolate anything and that’s when I discovered your recipe and it is perfect! I made some slight substitutions (had to). I ran out of peanut butter and maple syrup mid-measure and used almond butter and log cabin respectively to fill in the void. I can only make a few at a time and then store the rest as they are addictive. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will be making this often.
Hi Stacy! Desperate for anything chocolate: oh I have BEEN there! 😉 Glad to hear the minor adjustments worked so well! Thank you for taking the time to let me know. Happy baking!
I’d prefer not to use the coconut since the person I’m making them for doesn’t like coconut. Can I just leave it out or do you think I need to substitute something? I’m looking forward to making these!
Thanks!
Scrumptious cookies! I reduced the sugar to 1/3 and left out the vanilla because I didn’t have any. I also used a combination of tahini and peanut butter because I was low on PB. Boyfriend approved! Will be making these again!
Fantastic! Love the tahini sub Dana. And glad to hear the BF enjoys them too! ????
Hi Demeter,
Thanks for this recipe. It looks really good. I’m interested to make the cookies as crispy as possible. I plan to spread the dollop pretty thin on the baking sheet and to let the cookies bake a little longer than the suggested time. Do you think that will work? Any other tips?
Thanks!
Hi Krystal, my pleasure! 🙂 Yes, flatten the cookies and give them a bit of room (so they don’t touch). Reduce bake temp to 325F, and bake for 20-25 minutes or so (making sure to keep an eye on them). Let me know how they turn out! Enjoy.
Hi Demeter,
The cookies are everything I needed them to be for my birthday month cookies. I had to delay making them for a while, but they were certainly worth wait. Your tips worked well for making them crunchy and I added pecans and a spice mix to for a good bit of heat. They are simply splendid. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Hi Krystal! First of all, Happy Birthday!! I hope it’s been an amazing birthday month so far. 🙂 Second of all, woohoo!!!! I’m loving the sound of that added spice & pecan in these. Hugs & happy new year wishes to you. 🙂
