Here are the Vegan Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies from Friday morning. At first I thought the recipe wasn't worth posting, but after eating the cookies for a few days and appreciating their extra-moist texture, whole wheat taste and sweetness, I've changed my mind.
Fuzz likes them too, and she's pickier about cookies than I am. So here's the recipe. I left out the walnuts thinking that walnuts or pecans wouldn't go with peanut butter. However, the way all the flavors come together in the cookies, the extra nuts would good.
Vegan Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
⅓ cup plus 1 tablespoon crunchy peanut butter (100 grams)
2 tablespoons canola oil or any vegetable oil
1 cup sugar, can use regular sugar, turbinado or natural cane juice crystals
⅓ cup soy or almond milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour (114 grams/4 ounces weight or very lightly scooped)**
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup rolled oats (120 grams)
⅔ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips -- use non-dairy such as Tropical Source
⅓ cup chopped, toasted walnuts, pecans or salted peanuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, stir together first five ingredients.
In a small bowl, thoroughly stir together flour, soda and salt. Stir into batter. Stir in oats and chocolate chips, followed by nuts if using.
Drop batter by rounded tablespoonfuls onto Silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes or until set. Remove sheet from oven and let cool on tray for 5 minutes.
Makes 18 cookies
**If you don't have whole wheat pastry flour you can use 1 cup of cake flour.

Great recipe! I used sun butter, cut the sugar to 3/4 cup (partly altitude of 10,000 ft and partly just to make them healthier), spelt flour, and used sunflower seeds, coconut, and mini chips. Thank you!

Hi Kim,
Thanks for the feedback! I haven't made this recipe in a while. I'll have to try it again soon.

Hi Anna! I just made these cookies and they are beautiful. I was a little skeptical as I was scooping the dough; I was afraid the cookies wouldn't hold together. I did use whole wheat flour instead of the pastry flour. Tasty treats! Thanks for sharing all of your recipes.

I made these cookies for my family and they loved them. I doubled the recipe and followed it exactly as stated. These cookies are very filling with a great taste. Will keep this recipe for future baking! Thank you for sharing.

Stephen, thanks for the tip! I have some tahini on hand and might try that myself. Somewhere on this blog there's a recipe for oatmeal cookies with tahini and those are really good. I guess the tahini version of these has a similar flavor.
Stephen says
These are great! I didn't have peanut butter or almond butter, but I tried the recipe with Tahini and they still came out really delicious!

Anna, this has nothing to do with your Vegan cookies but I had to tell you I baked a double batch of your Chocolate Chip Cookies (from Epicurious) to take to a friend's son's graduation party. I had them on a huge tray and they were gone in 1/2 hour - 92 cookies!!!! I was browsing through your previous posts and found the recipe. I told a friend at the party all about your great blog. Thanks so much - they were delicious!
