With my husband having Celiac and a chocolate allergy these Peanut Butter Cookies are a good option for his sweet tooth needs.
I sometimes bring these cookies to work for everyone to try. They are always surprised that a gluten free and vegan cookie could taste like a “regular” cookie, and they always eat them all!
Peanut Butter cookies are one of favorites and this is a great recipe! Enjoy!
Peanut Butter Cookies Gluten Free and Vegan
2 cups rolled oats
2 cups gluten free all purpose-flour (I prefer Bob’s Red Mill)

1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Beat in flour mixture until blended well. Stir in raisins and pecans.
Chill 30 min.
Tbs size round balls on pan 2 inch. apart

September 2, 2013 at 6:19 pmI was wondering if you can use almond butter instead of peanut butter
Amber says
September 3, 2013 at 2:25 pmYollys, I have not used almond butter before, but I do not think it would be an issue. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
