Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

These dairy-free, gluten-free peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are easy to make in one bowl and hard to stop eating!

I’m finally sharing the cookies I’ve been making over and over again since shortly after Madeline’s birth. These peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies are dairy free, gluten free, and super simple to make. If you don’t like or can’t have peanut butter, they’re also amazing with cashew butter, and I bet other nut and seed butters will work, too.

While I wouldn’t call these health food, they do have good amounts of fiber, protein, and healthy fat. As a nursing mom, I love these because the oats help keep my supply up. However, these are not actual lactation cookies since they don’t have anything funky like brewer’s yeast or other ingredients not found in normal cookies that make you raise your eyebrows a little.

Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cake Pops (Gluten-free)

These pops were a huge hit at the Halloween party we went to last night–they were all gone about ten minutes after we arrived. One of my classmates said the pop was so good that she had to sit down! So, these might knock you right off your feet.

Cake pops take a little while to make, but they’re worth it! And, since there are no eggs involved, you can taste away all throughout the process. Wrapped in little bags, these pops would make great birthday party or wedding favors. There are endless possibilities for decorating them–you can dye sugar any color appropriate to the occasion, or extend the peanut butter theme by using crushed Reese’s Pieces or peanut butter cups.
