How to Make Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Preheat
Preheat your oven to 350°F. Then, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Whisk the Dry
Simply add all of your dry ingredients to a large mixing bowl: oat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk everything together until well mixed.
Whisk the Wet
Now, add all of your wet ingredients to a medium mixing bowl: peanut butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla. Whisk until well mixed.
Combine
Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients. Grab a rubber spatula and stir & fold it all together until no flour patches remain. Now you have a soft and moist peanut butter cookie dough. Fold in vegan chocolate chips.
Scoop
Grab your cookie scoop, then scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten, then press chocolate chips into each cookie ball.
Bake, Cool and Enjoy (and maybe Repeat)
Bake for about 14 minutes. Then, cool and enjoy the best vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookies! Repeat if necessary (I mean…)

Tips for the Best Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Use a cookie scoop
My favorite kitchen tool for making the best vegan cookies: small and medium cookie scoops. Use a cookie scoop to quickly create uniform-sized cookies and enjoy easy cleanup.
Stir your natural peanut butter
Natural peanut butter is a staple in my kitchen, but it can be a real treat to deal with. If you know what I mean. 😉 Natural peanut butter can separate very quickly—so you have peanut oil and peanut paste, not peanut butter. Lol. When you buy a new jar, make sure to stir it very thoroughly and give it a stir every time you use it. This ensures the right amount of oil and paste (as it were lol) in your vegan peanut butter cookies.
Use your favorite vegan chocolate chips
I have three go-to vegan chocolate chips that I use. (Mainly because some of them are not available from time to time). This one has a delicious, milky chocolate flavor, this one is sweetened only with stevia, sugar-free and delicious, this one is allergy-friendly, affordable and reliable.
Make the flax egg in advance
Since I like to set my flax eggs for 15 minutes, I preheat my oven, then prep my flax egg(s) before starting any vegan recipe (that calls for a flax egg). This ensures that the flax egg is ready when I get to it in the recipe. 😉
The Taste & Texture
Texture

The perfect little sweet treat!! My kids would love these!
Exactly! They’re so easy to make, and so much fun! 😄
I made these cookies and…OMG, they left me absolutely speechless. They are SO DELISH all I did was change the chocolate chips for chopped chocolate since I didn’t have chocolate chips. I am definitely making these again!
Wahoo!! I’m super pleased to hear it, Camila. Oooh… isn’t chopped chocolate the best? Then you get these teeny-tiny little flakes of melted chocolate all throughout (in addition to your beautiful bigger chunks). You’ve got me drooling here! Thanks for stopping by. xo

Hi!
Love all of your recipes!! Can I sub Evoo for coconut oil?
Hi Seju! Thank you much! 😊 I’ve had a good number of readers do so in other baked recipes with good results, as well as avocado oil. Just know that EVOO will have a more present taste than the coconut oil. 😉 If you try it here, let me know how it turns out!
