Peanut Butter Chocolate-Chip Oat Cookies (Gluten Free!)
If you keep up with my blog then you know I have an obsession with all things peanut butter and chocolate. That's why when I found this recipe from my friend and fellow health coach, Carrie Sink, I just had to share it with you!
Carrie suggests that they are best eaten right out of the oven, or straight from the freezer.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Oat Cookies {Gluten Free}:
Ingredients:
2/3 cup peanut butter (ingredients should be peanuts and salt only)
2/3 cup maple syrup
4 tablespoons butter, melted (can use coconut oil)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt
1 1/4 cup rolled oats, ground in food processor (Nutribullet works great)
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
2 cups dark chocolate chips
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (if you don't have parchment paper, lightly grease the baking sheets).
Pour the peanut butter and maple syrup mixture into a mixing bowl. Add the melted butter and whisk until the mixture is well blended.
Use your whisk to beat in the egg, scraping down the side of the bowl once it's incorporated, then whisk in the vanilla, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
Switch to a big spoon and stir in the ground oats, rolled oats and chocolate chips until they are evenly combined. Drop the dough by the tablespoon onto your prepared baking sheets.
Bake the cookies about 12 minutes. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on the pans.
