Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons Old-fashioned oats
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup)
- 0.25 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 tablespoon Mini chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 1 tablespoon of honey (or maple syrup). Microwave for 15-20 seconds, or until the mixture is warm and slightly melted.
Stir the melted mixture well, then add 3 tablespoons of old-fashioned oats, 0.25 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
If desired, fold in 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips for added flavor.
Scoop spoonfuls of the dough and shape into 2-3 small cookies. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon for even cooking.
Place the shaped cookies on a microwave-safe plate lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Microwave the cookies on high power for 40-60 seconds, depending on your microwave's wattage. Check at 40 seconds; the cookies should look set and firm but not overcooked.
Allow the cookies to cool on the plate for 5 minutes, as they will firm up further as they cool.
Enjoy your quick and easy microwave peanut butter oatmeal cookies immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 1 day.
