I love a good single serve recipe and these Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies are at the top of my list! They are gluten-free, grain-free, refined sugar-free, vegan, and SO easy to make.
All you need are 3 main ingredients— oats, peanut butter, and sugar. You will also need vanilla extract, baking soda, chocolate chips, and salt… but everyone has those on hand— right?! 😉
This recipe serves one or two. Usually I eat both cookies myself but they are dense so one is pretty satisfying! I love single-serve recipes because I am always craving something sweet in the afternoon and after dinner and sometimes I don’t have the time or energy for the production of a whole recipe. This recipe is perfect for those days!
What you need…
- oat flour: can be made my blending oats until you reach a flour-like consistency or you can buy oat flour at the store. Either way it is the cheapest gluten-free flour and easy to work with.
- peanut butter: I always look for brands with one ingredient— peanuts! Or peanuts and salt. I love a good salty peanut butter!
- coconut sugar: you can sub in regular sugar but note it will not be refined sugar-free. You could also swap monkfruit for coconut sugar if you are looking for a sugar-free option.
- vanilla extract
- baking soda
- chocolate chips: I always use the allergen friendly chips such as Enjoy Life Foods or Tollhouse Simply Delicious. These are vegan and also preservative/additive free.
- salt! There is no good cookie without salt.
Hope you guys love this simple and quick yet DELICIOUS recipe! x
