Recipe transformation
I have modified this recipe slightly over the years. Back in 2004, my daughters were allergy tested and they were diagnosed with a milk, tree nut, and wheat allergy. It was difficult to find special treats to make for them.
During that time of trying to find a suitable recipe, my mother-in-law handed down this recipe to me. She found it while cleaning her mother’s house; one word caught her attention, “flour-less”.
The original recipe had called for cane sugar, but over the years I have really tried to reduce the amount of high glycemic refined sugars we consume.
While not perfect, coconut sugar and maple syrup are the perfect combination of natural sweeteners. They make the cookies sweet without that sugar spike. Maple syrups compliments the peanut butter and oats, but the best part is it does not take cups of natural sugar to make these tasty.
I chose organic ingredients whenever possible for optimal taste, higher nutrition & cleaner fuel for our bodies.
Flourless Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
Once the cookies have cooled, you can serve them right away or store them in an airtight container. We like to freeze our cookies to make them last longer. Now my whole family prefers frozen cookies over fresh cookies.
Freezing recommendations: place unbleached parchment paper between each layers of cookie and store in an airtight container.
