    Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

    7
    By Alisa Fleming on August 30, 2007 Dairy Free Desserts

    Thanks to The Non-Dairy Queen for this addictive oatmeal peanut butter cookies recipe:

    So, this is a recipe that I have been making for years. I have not had them for quite some time due to the fact that I did not know that I could bake with Earth Balance in the tubs. Although, now I am not so sure I want to have that kind of information. Don’t get me wrong…these cookies are good! They are so good that our friend, Jim, has renamed them from peanut butter oatmeal cookies to “Crack Cookies”. They are so good that when I made them a couple of weeks ago for an after lunch treat, the plate was almost eaten! The recipe is from Allrecipes.com and you should make them, but you have been warned!

    Special Diet Notes: Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

    By ingredients, this recipe is dairy-free / non-dairy, nut-free, optionally soy-free,  and vegetarian.

    For peanut-free oatmeal cookies, you can substitute sunflower seed butter for the peanut butter. But note that the cookies might have a slight greenish hue due to the reaction of sunflower seeds with baking soda.

    For egg-free and vegan oatmeal peanut butter cookies, see my Egg Substitution Guide.

    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

      I will have to look for that brand, I have spent much time at safeway and walmart looking at margarine, the only thing I have found dairy free was the blue bonnet light margarine, which is no good for baking. I have resorted to bitter flavored shortening. I am new at this dairy free thing!!!

        Most Walmart stores carry one or two varieties of Earth Balance – it is the one in the tubs, however, it does work well for baking. They do sell stick margarine, though it can be harder to find. At least in my area, Safeway is not a good option for any type of dairy alternative and carries few natural foods. If you have a Raley’s, they are often much better.

      Unfortunately these are noy dairy free if you are using margerin! Margerin has milk products in in, which I can not use due to a child with dairy allergys! 🙁

        They use dairy-free margarine Natalie. Many brands of margarine are dairy-free. We use Earth Balance – their entire line is dairy-free (including casein-free).
