The easiest cookie recipe. With only 3 ingredients and 3 easy steps, these peanut butter cookies are a must make. You definitely don't need to be a baker to bake these either. Perfect for a quick, nutritious snack to satisfy your sweet tooth.
Mix the peanut butter with the maple syrup until well combined. Blend the oats into a flour and stir through until fully combined. Check the consistency and add a little more peanut butter if needed (as stated above this will depend on the type of peanut butter you use).
Roll into 10 balls, flatten and put on a baking tray. Score with a fork twice and bake for about 12 minutes.
Notes
I bake for 12 minutes for a nice crisp texture, without being too hard. If you want a slightly harder bite, bake a couple of minutes more.
I use a very runny peanut butter to make these. If your nut butter is a little harder, you may need to add some water or some more peanut butter as you combine.
I use whole oats that I blend into a flour. If you are using ready-ground oat flour, only use about 3/4 cup, rather than the whole cup, as stated in the recipe.
They will last for 3-4 days in a sealed tub, and a little longer if you store in the fridge.
