These vegan peanut butter cookies are soft, chewy, and loaded with rich peanut butter flavor. Made with plant-based ingredients like coconut sugar, oat milk, and maple syrup—no eggs or dairy required!
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, mix peanut butter, coconut sugar, oat milk, maple syrup and vanilla until smooth and creamy. If you have an electric mixer, I'd use that.
In a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon.
Add the flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and stir until combined. It will be crumbly.
Use a wooden spoon to combine. The dough should be a little sticky. If it doesn't stick together, add a little more oat milk, one teaspoon at a time, until dough comes together.
Shape dough into 1" dough balls and set on baking sheet.
Using a fork, create the crisscross pattern on top of each ball to slightly flatten (yet don't make it too flat).
Bake for 8 minutes, or until golden brown around edges and set in the center.
Remove from oven and let cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
You can store these cookies in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.
To make your own oat flour for this recipe: blend rolled oats in a high-powered blender or food processor until finely ground.
Swap peanut butter for cashew butter, sunflower butter, almond butter, etc.
