VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIES

VEGAN PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIES

I loveee me some peanut butter. I used to make cookies with my parents all the time when I was little so naturally it was one of the first things I made and mastered when I went vegan. These are a simple, quick, delicious recipe. I try to avoid using a lot of sugar and butter at all times when baking if I can. I like trying to make my desserts somewhat healthy. So I hope you enjoy these awesome peanut butter cookies.

RECIPE

Makes 9

1 cup unbleached white flour

1 cup organic quick oats

1/4 cane sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup natural peanut butter

3 tablespoons earth balance, melted

1/4 cup almond fresh coconut milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

* you can add coconut, raisins or almonds for extra flavour. I added 2 tablespoons shredded coconut

STEPS

Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Lightly grease a baking pan with butter.

Combine all dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix together well. Create a well in the middle and add your peanut butter, earth balance, almond milk and vanilla. Stir together with a spatula for 5-7 minutes or until completely mixed together. All your flour should be absorbed so if its not add tablespoons of milk one at a time till it is. Once your ball of cookie dough is formed use a large spoon to scoop out some of your cookie dough. It should be around the size of a golf ball. Roll it into a ball in your hand. This helps your cookies for forming better and not crumbling. Flatten it out with your hand into a round disc and repeat nine times. Place your cookies onto your baking pan and pop them in the oven! Bake for 10-12 minutes.
