Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy all natural peanut butter (the only ingredients should be peanuts and salt)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s ready for baking your cookies.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, beat together the peanut butter, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and fully combined.
- Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten free rolled oats, baking powder, and sea salt to evenly distribute the leavening and salt.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, beating continuously until the batter is uniform and well mixed.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Stir or beat in the semi sweet chocolate chips evenly throughout the batter for chocolatey bursts in every bite.
- Shape Cookies: Drop the cookie batter by spoonfuls onto a non-stick baking sheet, spacing them apart to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 13 minutes, or until the centers are cooked through and the edges start to set.
Notes
- Use all natural peanut butter with only peanuts and salt to keep the flavor pure and natural.
- Gluten free rolled oats make this recipe safe for gluten intolerant individuals.
- Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center when done.
- Maple syrup adds natural sweetness and moisture, an excellent alternative to refined sugar.
- For a nuttier texture, oats can be lightly toasted before mixing in the dry ingredients.
