Cookies for breakfast. Is that a thing?
Well, when it comes to oatmeal cookies I think it can be! And lucky for you (and me!), it’s National Oatmeal Cookie Day.

That’s right…a whole day dedicated to “healthy” cousin of the chocolate chip cookie. Sure, chocolate chip cookies get all the attention and good press, but frankly, I think it’s time that OATMEAL cookies get some of the spotlight!
There’s just something so special about an oatmeal cookie. They’re heartier, more chew, and feel more wholesome than a regular cookie just made with flour. You can add any mix-ins you’d like and take your favorite cookie variety to the next level with the signature texture that an oat-based cookie has.

My favorite kind of oatmeal cookies are the kind my grandma used to make with my when she would babysit me as a child. Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. A combination of the best of cookies in my opinion!
They were so simple and easy to make…probably why she opted for those instead of a more complicated baked good to bake with me. Simple, wholesome ingredients, an easy method, and delicious results. You really can’t go wrong!

I decided it was time to recreate my childhood favorite, plus take things up a notch.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Skillet Cookie
I’ve been wanting to try my hand at making a skillet cookie for some time now, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. The fact that I didn’t have a cast iron skillet until a month ago may have played a role in the delay as well. 😉

The Healthiest Skillet Cookie EVER
This skillet cookie is vegan, gluten-free, and naturally sweetened with dates thanks to my favorite dry sweetener, Bob’s Red Mill Date Sugar. That combined with their GF Quick Oats, Coconut Flour, and Chia Seeds, and you have a decadently sweet treat that’s GOOD for you too!
This cookie recipe makes 8 slices, but no one would blame you if you ate the whole thing at once. It is made in ONE skillet after all….who says a skillet isn’t a serving? 😉
Top this baby fresh out of the oven with some vegan ice cream and prepare to go to half-baked cookie heaven! Ooooooey gooooooey warm chocolate and peanut butter combined with cold, creamy ice cream is the definition of foodgasmic. (<—Did I really just say that?! You know I mean business if I’m being that corny!) If you prefer a crispier cookie, let it cool before slicing and serving…totally up to you and your cookie eating preferences!

Wow, what an interesting recipe. I have a family member and friends who need gluten free, as well as friends who prefer vegan. This could be something that they would enjoy.

Thanks Alice!! I think your family member (and you!!) would love this!!
What? I missed a food holiday? Glad you caught it. This giant cookie looks so good! Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party.
Thanks Helen!! Hope you love the skillet cookie!
[…] Chocolate lovers…get excited. A lot of these recipes showcase chocolate as the star ingredient. Let’s face it, there isn’t a food out there that can’t be made delicious when combined with chocolate. Well, maybe…fish. Chocolate-covered fish would not be good. ? […]
Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party! I sure hope to see you at the new one tomorrow. Have a great afternoon.
Thanks so much Helen!
