Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cups Oat flour (or blend rolled oats into flour)
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Natural creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil (melted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cups Mini dark chocolate chips (vegan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth and well-combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms. Add the mini dark chocolate chips and gently fold them in.
Scoop about 1.5 tablespoons of the dough and roll it into a ball. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly using your fingers or the back of a fork.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies may seem soft but will firm up as they cool.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the tray for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your healthier vegan peanut butter oatmeal cookies!
