These four ingredient Peanut butter cookies are egg free and gluten free and makes a delicious melt in the mouth treat. For the second day of Elevenses, I have this easy to make peanut butter cookies. Usually peanut butter cookies are made with eggs, sweetener and peanut butter combined together. To avoid eggs, I have used oats in the recipe. I have also used brown sugar and the best thing about this recipe is that there are no leavening agents. The peanut butter and the ghee works beautifully to create the melt in the mouth kind of cookie.
I have used my homemade peanut butter which is nothing but roasted peanuts ground until the oil in them gets out to make it butter. I have also added a little coconut oil and salt while making the peanut butter. This is the best peanut butter you could ever taste without any chemicals added. The cookies when coming out of oven are soft. But allow it to cool in the tray itself and they will firm up. These are not like the normal biscuits made with maida. These just melt in the mouth because of the butter and ghee. It felt like eating peanut ladoos with a crunch because of the oats.

I planned on baking oats cookies for this theme. In fact I made them last month but could not take pictures. Anyway, eggless cookies with homemade peanut butter sounds good. I like the crunch oats give to cookies.
Your cookies have a great texture. Fresh peanut butter tastes so good. Must have tasted lovely with the ghee.
That’s a wonderful combination to make in a cookie Gayathri, would love to make it sometime!
I have made PB cookies before, but I will try with ghee if I have to make again. The aroma and the flavor must be better for sure!
Such simple, flavor packed cookies these are. Love the addition of oats in there. I would love to try your recipe some time.
Good job with the cookies , and making the peanut butter at home is like wow ! Cookies look super and the use of ghee is interesting .
I have been putting off making nut butters at home for a while now. I must make these cookies for the kids. They look amazing.
Cookies look so delicious. I have peanut butter and oats at home. Will try them.
Wow another healthy cookie from your blog and lovely combination of peanut butter and oats. yum
Sounds very flavorful. I have been looking for a good eggless peanut butter cookie for sometime now and will give this a try.
Hello Gayathri Mam. I tried these cookies but dough was too wet and didn’t come together at all. Still I went ahead and baked it but it was a sort of crumb not intact cookies. But for sure taste was fabulous!!
Please suggest where did I went wrong…I did all weighing using scale only. My ghee was totally liquid… could it be the possible reason?
Please help and guide.
It shouldn’t be too wet. I think there was some mistake while measuring ingredients.
Thanks for your response Mam. But just in case I am not able to find any mistake in weighing as well, can I reduce amount of ghee?
Yes, reduce ghee if the dough is too wet.
Thanks a lot Mam for the guidance.
