Ingredients For Peanut Butter Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies Substitutions And Additions

BUTTER: Cutting out butter? While it may cause a change in flavor and make your recipe a bit ‘coconut-y’, coconut oil can be used as a 1:1 substitute for butter.

EGG: If you’re looking to replace the egg, using a quarter cup (approximately 65 grams) of applesauce or a quarter cup of pureed bananas can replace a single egg. 

CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Try dark or white chocolate chips or even peanut butter chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips to change the flavor of these easy cookies.

PEANUT BUTTER: We used smooth peanut butter, but if you prefer crunchy peanut butter, you could use that as well.

OATS: We recommend using quick oats rather than old-fashioned oats in this recipe.

Storing Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

Here’s your guide to storing and making these delightful treats ahead:

MAKE AHEAD: If you want to plan ahead or have some cookie dough you don’t want to bake all at once, you can make the dough and shape it into cookie portions.

Store the portions in an airtight container or resealable freezer bag. Keep the dough in the freezer for up to three months.

When you’re ready to bake, simply take out the desired number of portions, let them thaw slightly on a baking sheet, and then bake as usual.

ON THE COUNTER: These cookies should be good for a couple of days in an airtight container at room temperature.

IN THE FRIDGE: In an airtight container, these oatmeal peanut butter cookies can be refrigerated for about a week or more.

They’ll still last after that point; they just might get a bit stale.

IN THE FREEZER: For a longer-lasting option, these easy peanut butter oatmeal cookies can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to three months.

Make sure they have cooled off before sealing them in their containers, and remember to thaw before serving!
