Welcome to one of my favorite flashback recipes ever: Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Cookies! “But what’s a flashback recipe??” you say… Well, last year, I decided to bring back some old BB favorites from the archives with new photos, new recipe tips and a general refresh.

‘Cuz who doesn’t need that, ya know?

This flashback recipe is an oldie, but a goodie! (I mean, when is an oldie not a goodie, right? Okaaaaay, fine, maybe we didn’t need to bring back shoulder pads and two foot high hairsprayed bangs.) Anywho…

Do you love peanut butter? How about coconut? And what about oatmeal cookies? Well, when you put them all together, you get something really, truly great. I developed this vegan + gluten free peanut butter coconut oatmeal cookies recipe back when I decided I needed a little something of everything in one easy vegan cookie.

Flashback: Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

Are you game? Let’s throw it all the way back to February 2017 and make all the delicious combo peanut butter cookie + oatmeal cookies + coconut cookies in ONE!

How Do these Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Cookies TASTE?

Glad you asked! The taste of these peanut butter coconut oatmeal cookies is: rich, peanut butter-y, sweet-but-not-too-sweet, with chewy, delicious oats and a pop of coconut flavor. They’re kind of like my Gluten Free Soft Peanut Butter Cookies + my 3 Ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies and my Ultimate Chewy Paleo Coconut Cookies put together. Side note: if you’re craving even more coconut goodness, try my Gluten Free Coconut Macaroons recipe and my 5 Ingredient Vegan Coconut Chocolate Bars.

These cookies are deliciously dense, with a soft bit of chew and packed with great texture in the form of gluten free oats, unsweetened coconut chips and soul-satisfying peanut butter. Oh YUM.

Can I Freeze these Vegan Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Cookies?

Yes! While one of the things I love about these coconut peanut butter oatmeal cookies is that they stay fresh and yummy for 2 weeks, you can still freeze ‘em! To Freeze: cool cookies completely, then store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container for 1-2 months. Allow to thaw for 10-30 minutes before enjoying! Looking for an even easier, no bake recipe? Try these 3 Ingredient No Bake Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Cups (Healthy, Vegan, GF).

Tools for the Best Peanut Butter Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

  • Medium Cookie Scoop: my favorite scoop of all time. And that’s coming from someone who’s made over 100 cookies. Okay, wait, did I say a mere 100 cookies? I meant 1,000s upon 1,000s of cookies! How many times do you think a crappy cookie scoop has broken on me, mid-bake? So. Many. Times. These cookie scoops never fail and are the gold standard (for me) in cookie bake-a-thons.
  • Raw Coconut Chips: these coconut chips are the best! Literally, you can eat them as a snack, they’re that good. I love using these raw coconut chips in my recipes because they’re plant-based, made without any added ingredients, and simply add a pop of delicious, pure coconut taste to any recipe.
  • Unblanched Almond Meal: different from blanched almond flour, almond meal has a heavier, denser texture that makes these peanut butter coconut oatmeal cookies oh-so-satisfying. Leave home without it? No way, sir! (And by “home”, I mean the kitchen, o ‘course!)
  • Coconut Sugar: searching for a refined sugar-free sweetener for your gluten free vegan plant-based treats? This is it folks! I love that this coconut sugar adds such a wonderful, warm caramel-y taste to vegan cookies without having to add in refined sugar. Yes!!

I can’t wait to hear what you think of this recipe. 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by and joining in these baking adventures with me. ‘Til the next one…

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, almond meal, coconut, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together all the wet ingredients: peanut butter, coconut oil, sugar, maple syrup, flax eggs and vanilla.
  4. Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well incorporated.
  5. Using a small or medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Using a fork, flatten cookies to desired thickness—they won’t spread much while baking. Optionally, press coconut flakes and oats onto the tops of each cookie.
  6. Bake for 10-14 minutes. Mine took 12 minutes. Place baking sheet onto cooling rack. Allow cookies to cool on sheet for 10 minutes. Using a heatproof spatula, lift and transfer cookies directly onto the cooling rack, cooling completely before storing. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

    1. Love this recipe! They were yummy! I didn’t have any almond meal so I replaced it with Finely ground Walnut flour. Worked out great! Can’t wait to try your other recipes, Thank you for a healthy alternative cookie that I can’t stop eating!






  1. We really liked these…I substituted half the Coconut sugar with truvia and couldn’t tell. It’s Easter Day here in IL and we will see family via zoom and I’ll brag about how delicious our cookies are!






  2. This recipe is one of our favorites at home! It’s healthy and so yummy at the same time. I highly recommend that you give this recipe a try too!






  3. I’m planning on making these today. Do u think I would be able to substitute another flour for the oat flour? Spelt, sprouted whole wheat? Also would avocado oil work in place of coconut oil?
    Thanks.
    I love all your recipes!

    1. Hi Jody, some sources say that spelt flour is a suitable substitute for oat flour, at a 1:1 ratio. I haven’t tried it myself, so I can’t say for sure. Let me know how it turns out if you do. Avocado oil should be fine. Thanks so much for your kind words! 🙂
