This is my February post for the Secret Recipe Club! Intrested in joining SRC? Find out more information here!
This month I was assigned Faith from FortheHealth.com.
I was so impressed with how healthy Faith’s recipes are compared to most things I make. For someone like me (a bit of butter and sugar hoarder) this posed a bit of a challenge.
Once I stumbled up her dessert page and saw the recipe for peanut butter banana white chocolate chip oatmeal cookies I was ready to take on the challenge!
I adjusted her recipe slightly. You can find the original recipe here, and my adaptations are shown below.
The result of my adaptations resulted it a sweet but hearty cookie. These are definitely a crowd pleaser.
Peanut Butter White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup oats
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/3 cup turbinado sugar
- 1/3 cup oat flour*
- 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp peanut butter (I used crunchy)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
*To make the oat flour: in a blender, food processor, or other food grinder appliance grind 1 cup oats until you have a powdery mix of oats and oat powder.
This is what mine looked like.
Measure 1/3 cup for the cookies, store the remaining flour in a ziplock bag.
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- In a small bowl combine the oats, oat flour, and flour. Set aside.
- In your stand mixer, or using a hand mixer, cream the sugar, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla. Fold in the flour mixture, then the chocolate chips.
- Drop the cookies by the spoonful on to cookie sheets and bake 15-18 minutes, or golden brown. Eat as fast as possible – store any remaining cookies in a ziplock bag for 3-4 days.

Om, nom, nom is right! Those cookies look delicious.
Peanut butter makes everything taste good. I recently used it in a salad dressing of all things!
Oh Wow. My daughter would love these! I may have to make these for her upcoming 2nd birthday
I’m so glad you liked them, and I’m totally impressed that you made your own oat flour! Thanks for the sweet review and an awesome SRC reveal day!
I don’t know why but I’ve never paired white chocolate with peanut butter but I need to change that, these cookies look wonderful.
