These peanut butter oatmeal cookies have just 3 ingredients and are simple to make. They don’t contain any flour, refined sugar, eggs or butter. They are crunchy, lightly sweet, and are an easy snack or dessert. Make sure to use natural unsweetened peanut butter — the kind of peanut butter that doesn’t contain any added oils, just peanuts and salt. Your dough will not thicken if you use regular peanut butter.
