  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. Ingredients This recipe will yield 2 dozen cookies. 2 cups   rolled oats ½  cup sugar or coconut su
