Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Natural creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Use a wooden spoon or electric mixer to blend until smooth and well combined.
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until evenly mixed.
Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet peanut butter mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix, which can result in tough cookies.
Fold in the rolled oats, mixing just until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Use a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop to drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Use a fork to gently flatten each ball of dough slightly, creating a crosshatch pattern if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, which is okay as they will set while cooling.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious and dairy-free peanut butter oatmeal cookies with a warm beverage or as a quick snack!
