I’m not sure if I dare call peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies a healthy snack, but they’re close. They can also be made gluten-free, which is a welcome option for family members with a sensitivity to gluten.

This is a flexible recipe, if you want to switch out dark chocolate chips for semi-sweet or switch out chopped walnuts for pecans or peanuts. As far as taste goes you won’t miss the gluten if you use gluten-free oats.

In the recipe I noted that I use Jif Natural peanut butter. It is gluten-free and has less salt and sugar than many others.

 

Don’t be too disappointed if these peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies disappear quickly. You may want to hide a couple for yourself!

Cheers!
