gluten & dairy free Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

POST AUTHOR: RACHEL

You would never guess that these cookies are dairy and gluten free - they taste amazing and everyone is always requesting the recipe after they've taken a bite of these delicious and flavorful morsels. They are pretty simple and will satisfy your sweet tooth without a huge sugar rush. I posted the photo below on Instagram and instantly had at least ten people ask me for the recipe. So, as promised, here it is!

Ingredients

• 2 Eggs
• 1 cup rolled oats, gluten free
• 1/2 cup maple syrup, pure
• 1 cup peanut butter, creamy
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp sea salt
• 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips (I use these)
• 1 tbsp vanilla extract
• cinnamon to sprinkle on top

Recipe

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a bowl, beat peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla
3. In a separate bowl, stir together the oats, baking powder, and salt
4. Add dry mixture to wet and beat until combined
5. Stir in the chocolate chips
6. Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet
7. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until the center is cooked through
8. Sprinkle cinnamon on top as the cookies cool (or add it on top before you bake!)

I found this recipe on Build Your Bite and just had to try it! She suggested substituting maple syrup for honey or almond butter for the peanut butter, if you'd like. 

Let me know what you think! Enjoy!
