Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies- Gluten Free/Dairy-Free

 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies



These cookies check off all the boxes for me. They are soft, moist and a healthier option than most oatmeal cookie recipes. This recipe uses natural peanut butter, coconut oil in lieu of butter or vegetable oils and is flourless. It does contain a bit of sugar, but you can definitely substitute coconut sugar.
While oats are naturally gluten free, they become contaminated if processed in the same facilities as wheat, rye and other grains. If you are keeping this recipe gluten free then make sure that the oats you purchase are "certified gluten-free".
I like to use a small ice cream scoop to form the cookies. Use your fingers to lightly press down on the cookie batter when in the scoop, this way they will be firmer and will set better. 
I hope you give these delicious cookies a try! They will be sure to become one of your favourites.

This recipe will yield 2 dozen cookies.
  • 2 cups  rolled oats
  • ½ cup sugar or coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • 2 whole eggs
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup natural peanut butter- room temperature (the peanut butter should be runny, if not, microwave for a bit)
  • ¾ cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350º and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. 
  2. Add oats, sugar, baking soda and salt to a large bowl and whisk together.
  3. Add in eggs, coconut oil, peanut butter and stir it all together.
  4. Add in chocolate chips. 
  5. If the batter is too sticky, pop it into fridge for about 5 minutes.
  6. Scoop batter onto sheets and press down gently with fingers. 
  7. Bake for about 10-15 minutes. Cookies should be set in the middle and outsides are golden. Check after 10 minutes.

Anginetti /Nonna's Ice sugar donuts

  Nonna's Ice Sugar Donuts IG: @mangia.con.elena Yields: 4-5 dozen       These delicious, lemony cookies are known as anginetti, tarallucci, Italian lemon knot cookies or wedding cookies.  My mom always just called them ciambellette (little donuts).  As children, we loved them and we began to call them simply ice sugar donuts. They became a huge hit with the grandkids and for decades now we have been calling them "Nonna's ice sugar donuts."  They are traditionally served at weddings and symbolize a big hug with a knot for "tying the knot". They were well sought after in our little community. My mother was often asked to make them for a wedding or special occasion.  They also made an appearance at special events and holidays and definitely on our Christmas table.  My mom always had a batch in the freezer ready for afternoon coffee and visitors.  When my children and I would make the long trek up North to visit them, there were always big freezer bags full rea

Pizza Dough

  Giuseppe's Pizza The secret to a successful pizza dough is understanding the liquid to flour ratio and knowing how the dough should feel and if it needs more of less of one ingredient. This can only be learned by practice and seeing what works and what doesn't. I have had a great deal of pizza flops and I still do! Too much flour, not enough flour, too much kneading, not enough kneading... So I guess my point is be easy on yourself because it is a skill.   I find working the dough with my hands both therapeutic and creative. It also gives me a better feel for what I need to add and when it is ready to proof. The recipe that I use for pizza is my brother Giuseppe's. He is an amazing home cook and has inspired me on a regular basis ( a little friendly competition between siblings is a good thing!) He loves to cook and we get so excited when we are invited to his house because we know we are getting authentic and delicious meals made with love. As always, the flour measureme

Cime di Rape (Rapini) filled Calzone

Cime di Rape (Rapini) filled Calzone   IG: @mangia.con.elena Pinterest: mangiaconelena Growing up in our Italian household we ate a great deal of pizza. My mother would whip up pizza dough quickly and in no time there would be pizza on the table. Her toppings were not very fancy, a simple tomato and basil, potato and rosemary or salami and onions. Sometimes anchovies or roasted peppers. They were delicious. Her dough was thick and moist and the crust perfect.  She was known for her pizza. When my siblings and myself had people over she made pizza for us. When there was a special celebration there was always pizza on the table, cold or hot. The one pizza we all fought over was her filled pizzas with rapini. We never called them calzones. Calzones are a traditional pizza originating out of Naples and named after the Italian word for the leg of trousers or pants. In our region they are just called "Pizza ripiena con rapini" meaning rapini filled pizza. My  mother's version o
