Hi friends!

These Peanut Butter Hemp Seed Cookies have become a staple in my weekly food prep. They are SO easy to whip up…just one bowl,  one measuring cup and a spoon! And they’re delicious and full of heart-healthy fats.

Over the past few years, I’ve fallen in love with hemp seeds! They pack such a powerful nutrient punch and they’re so easy to mix into just about everything as an easy way to add things like iron, magnesium, omegas and protein.

Peanut Butter Hemp Seed Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are a few ways you can change things up with these cookies. I’ve made them with almond butter and they came out great AND tried them with maple syrup…which changes the texture a bit but they’re still good. These are basically like those peanut butter cookies made with just peanut butter, sugar and eggs….except I upped the protein, reduced the sugar and added some fiber with the oats. I call that a win.

Oatmeal Hemp Seed Breakfast Cookies

Want to make these an even better choice for breakfast? Swap the chocolate chips for dried fruit like raisins or dried blueberries. You could also add some nuts like slivered almonds or chopped walnuts for extra healthy fats

Where to Buy Hemp Hearts

As far as hemp seeds go, they’re also called hemp hearts and Manitoba Harvest is my favorite. I buy them in a giant bag at Costco because we go through them so fast but you can find them in most grocery stores (check the bulk bins if you have them) or grab them online from Amazon. (aff link)

    Thoughts on if I could sub almond flour (or some other flour) for the oats? Or maybe pulse the oats into flour first? My 3 year old is not a fan of the oats texture, but these sound so delicious and healthy!

      i think you could probably pulse the oats first!

    Made with hemp flour instead of seeds cos that’s what I had. Came out really good. Added some sunflower seeds for some crunch.
    Thanks a million for the recipe.
    Will look out for more in your website.
    Love,

    Perfect power cookie! I have a sweet tooth so I use the extra sugar. I make these for anyone going through a tough time that needs a healthy boost on the fly. We just freeze and pull out a cookie when needed. Even my 2yo loves them!

    I make so many of your recipes and this one is my absolute fav. I make them with maple syrup and always do a double batch for freezer extras. My 2 year old has been making them with me for over half a year and also devours them. Thanks as always for your amazing recipes, useful tips and real life kid talk.

    Yum! These are so easy to make and the end result is craveable yet healthy-ish. I love how they are moist and chewy; not too dry from the oats. I did substitute a flax egg for one of the eggs and it worked well. I plan to make more of these to freeze as a nutritious snack for the family.

    These turned out really good! A solid breakfast or snack cookie.

    I wasn’t sure if this recipe was meant to be made with peanut butter that is just peanuts + salt or the standard store bought peanut butter that has added sugar, palm oil, and other things. I used standard peanut butter because I needed to use up a jar in my pantry. I also used quick oats because it’s what I had on hand.

    I ended up with seven pretty large cookies that I will probably break in half. I will definitely make these again!

    These cookies are really great all around. Had my 9yr old make them for us, super easy and tasty. We used thr natural peanut butter, the one with only salt added, and was worried that the batter was too soft, but again, turned out great!
    I’m wondering, or my 9yr old is rather, if these could be made with Nutella ?

    Thanks for all your wonderful recipes! I honestly use one at least every other day.
