3 Ingredient Healthy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
These peanut butter oatmeal cookies are crunchy and lightly sweet. They are very easy to make and just 3 ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (128 g) unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup (59 ml) pure maple syrup
- 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp (50 g) quick oats
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Add peanut butter, syrup and oats into a large mixing bowl. Stir until maple syrup is completely incorporated into the peanut butter and oats are fully coated. Your mixture should resemble a thick cookie dough.
- Portion the dough into 1 tbsp pieces (I packed the dough into my tablespoon). Take one piece of dough and roll between palms until it forms a round ball. Place it onto your prepared cookie sheet and then flatten the dough ball until it becomes a round disk (about 1/4 inch thick). You can do this with the back of a metal spoon or the palm of your hand. Space cookies about 1/2 inch apart. The cookies don't spread during baking so you don't need to space them out as much.
- Bake cookies for about 9-10 minutes (I baked mine 10 minutes) or until the surfaces look cooked. Let cookies cool completely on the cookie sheet before removing.
Notes
- Make sure to use natural peanut butter. This recipe will not work with regular peanut butter.
- This recipe works best with pure maple syrup. Other syrups may work but they will likely need a watery consistency like maple syrup. I've tried it with honey and the dough does not thicken the same way.
- These cookies are only lightly sweetened. They are similar to biscuit cookies though not quite as firm.
