This or just oats. But then you are making no bake chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookies which are pretty sickeningly sweet but oh so good!

It looks amazing, and if you feel that it's too sweet (it's not IMO), you can use a darker chocolate.

This.

Use bitter to balance sweet.

So you want a less sickeningly sweet treat?

How about peanut butter powder in place of some of the sugar?

From the CDC:

Flour doesn't look like a raw food, but most flour is raw. That means it hasn't been treated to kill germs that cause food poisoning, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Salmonella. These harmful germs can contaminate grain while it's still in the field or flour while it's being made. Steps like grinding grain and bleaching flour don't kill harmful germs—and these germs can end up in flour or baking mixes you buy at the store. You can get sick if you eat unbaked dough or batter made with flour containing germs. Germs are killed only when flour is baked or cooked.

CDC investigated outbreaks linked to raw flour or cake mix in 2016, 2019, 2021, and 2023. Some of these investigations led to recalls. Flour and baking mixes containing flour have long shelf lives, meaning they do not go bad quickly. It's a good idea to check your pantry to see if you have any flour or baking mixes that have been recalled in recent years (search FDA's recall list). Throw away any recalled flour or baking mixes you have.

What are you trying to achieve by adding anything to the peanut butter?

Or almond/oat flour

If it’s a cookie exchange or party I would keep the recipe the same and not try to add weird ingredients. If it’s just for your family you could google reduced sugar buckeye recipe. I found one that uses oats and chickpeas.

PP. Forgot the link.

I don't understand.

I don’t think you’re supposed to eat raw flour.

It would taste flour-y

I was thinking of ways to keep the bulk that makes peanut butter pliable but making less sweet.

What do you think 3:1 confectioner sugar:flour would taste?
