Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened and creamy)
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unit large egg
- 0.5 cup rolled oats (blended into oat flour)
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the natural peanut butter, brown sugar, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Crack in the egg and beat it into the mixture until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the oat flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky.
Step 6
If using, fold in the dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Scoop about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough and roll it into a ball. Place it onto the prepared baking sheet and gently press it down with the back of a fork to create a crisscross pattern. Repeat with the remaining dough, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until the cookies are golden around the edges but still soft in the center.
Step 9
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy these wholesome peanut butter cookies with a glass of milk, coffee, or on their own!
