Flourless Monster Cookies
Chewy, chocolatey, peanut buttery cookies packed with oats and candy-coated chocolates — all without a speck of flour. These gluten-free monster cookies are fun, colorful, and easy to make.
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Cookie scoop or tablespoon
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy or chunky peanut butter (no-stir recommended)
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- ½ tsp salt
- ¾ cup chocolate chips
- ¾ cup candy-coated chocolates (like M&M's)
- optional Add-ins like chopped nuts, pretzels, coconut, or butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth and glossy.
- Stir in baking soda and salt. Add oats and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips and candy pieces.
- Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly with fingers or a spoon.
- Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are set and lightly golden. Centers should still look soft.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
Use regular no-stir peanut butter for best results. Dough can be chilled before baking to help with shaping. Swap in almond or sunflower seed butter for nut-free versions. Don’t overbake!
