Method
- Preheat the oven: Set oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, egg, and maple syrup. Stir until the mixture becomes thick and smooth.
- Add oats: Gradually stir in the oats until you get a thick, sticky cookie dough consistency.
- Shape cookies: Scoop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape into rounds and gently press down to flatten.
- Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cookies are cooked through and lightly golden. Let cool before serving.
Notes
Serving: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Perfect with milk, coffee, or a spread of jam or honey.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
Tips:
• Use creamy peanut butter for a smooth texture.
• Flatten the cookies before baking for even cooking.
• Adjust oats for desired chewiness, more oats make thicker, chewier cookies. Variations: Add chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits for extra flavor. For a richer taste, drizzle with melted chocolate or top with sea salt.
