You guys loved the last oatmeal cookie recipe that I shared so much, which makes me so excited to share another one with you today! What’s unique about these ones is the fact that they’re free of all major allergens, making them a perfect healthy snack option to pack for school.

I’ve teamed up with my friends at Healthy Crunch to create this recipe as part of their #SchoolApproved campaign. Healthy Crunch is a dietitian-founded company (yay!) who’ve just launched the first School Approved® snack line to help parents identify school-safe snacks for their kids.

In addition to being allergen-free, these “PB&J” oatmeal cookies are SO easy to make, high in fibre, and low in added sugars. They’re soft, chewy, and absolutely delicious – perfect for kids and adults alike! I hope you love these as much as I do 🙂

How Are These Oatmeal Cookies Allergen-Free?

Despite being inspired by PB&J sandwiches, these oatmeal cookies are completely nut-free! In addition to being free of all major allergens, these oatmeal cookies are also flourless and vegan.

In place of peanut butter, we’re using Healthy Crunch’s NEW Super Seed Seed Butter, which is so smooth and creamy! It’s made from sunflower seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds and produced in a gluten-free, nut-free facility.

For the “jelly” component of these cookies, we’re using Healthy Crunch’s Raspberry Chia Jam, which adds extra protein, fibre, and omega-3s to this recipe. It’s free of major allergens, too.

Are These Oatmeal Cookies Healthy?

Yes! They’re made with super simple ingredients that provide a good amount of protein, dietary fibre, healthy fats, and not a lot of sugar.

As a dietitian, I try to always recommend having snacks that contain these nutrients. Doing so helps to prevent excess spikes and crashes in blood sugar, giving you a steadier state of energy. Plus it helps to slow digestion, keeping you feeling fuller for longer.

We’re all looking for a snack that energizes and satisfies us between meals, right?!

How To Make “PB&J” Oatmeal Cookies

These nut-free “PB&J” oatmeal cookies are incredibly quick and easy to make. If you’re making these for your kids, you can totally get them involved in the baking process too!

To start, preheat your oven to 350F.

Next, add the dry ingredients to a large bowl and stir to combine:

Then, add the wet ingredients to the dry ones:

Mix everything together until all the ingredients are well-combined and sticking together.

Scoop spoonfuls of the “dough” into your hands and roll into balls. You can choose to make these cookies as big or small as you like!

Gently press the balls of “dough” flat till they’re about 1/2 an inch thick. These cookies will not spread on their own.

Place them, spaced out, on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them in the oven for 10 minutes.

Finally, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for 15-20 minutes – this is SUPER important. The cookies will be soft when you take them out of the oven, but will harden and set when you let them cool.

How Long Will These Oatmeal Cookies Last?

These “PB&J” oatmeal cookies should be stored in an airtight container. You can keep them fresh at room temperature for about 2 weeks, although they do taste best in the first couple days (I doubt they’ll last much longer than that, anyway!)

If you’d like, you can also freeze these cookies in a freezer-safe bag or container. They’ll stay fresh for a couple months.
