Healthy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Servings: 8
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Oats
  • 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 4 Tbsp Peanut Butter Powder
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • 1 Tbsp Butter, melted (or neutral oil like coconut oil or olive oil)
  • 1 Large Egg
  • 2 Tbsp Whole Milk
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • ½ cup Pure Maple Syrup
  • ¼ cup Chocolate Chips, optional but always encouraged

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients with a whisk: oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and peanut butter powder and salt. (If you’re using traditional peanut butter instead, add that to the wet ingredients, not the dry.) Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the wet ingredients: butter, egg, milk, vanilla and maple syrup. Add in the dry ingredients and mix until combined, but without overmixing. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  3. Chill the dough in the fridge for at least 30 minutes up to an hour. It's too sticky otherwise.
  4. Preheat the oven to 325℉.
  5. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and place on a silicone baking mat on a cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
