Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (120 g) creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup (113 g) honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup (240 ml) rolled oats
- ¼ cup (40 g) mini chocolate chips or dried fruit
- ¼ cup (30 g) chopped nuts or seeds (e.g., almonds, sunflower seeds)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Mixing Base: Combine peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract in a large bowl, whisking until smooth and fully incorporated.
- Oat Integration: Fold rolled oats into the mixture, ensuring complete and even distribution throughout the creamy base.
- Flavor Enhancement: Incorporate chocolate chips, dried fruit, and chopped nuts, gently stirring to create a balanced and textured composition.
- Forming Cookies: Use hands or a spatula to compress the mixture, creating a cohesive dough that holds its shape with firm, consistent pressure.
- Shaping and Setting: Craft uniform cookie rounds and place them on a parchment-lined tray, allowing them to stabilize at room temperature for 30 minutes.
- Storage and Serving: Transfer cookies to an airtight container in the refrigerator, where they’ll remain fresh for up to one week. Before enjoying, let cookies sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
Notes
- Customize Mix-Ins: Experiment with different add-ins like chia seeds, coconut flakes, or protein powder to boost nutritional value and personalize flavor profiles.
- Binding Consistency: Ensure peanut butter and honey are well-blended to create a sticky base that helps cookies hold their shape without crumbling.
- Temperature Matters: Let cookies set at room temperature for precise texture; refrigeration can make them too hard, while warm settings might cause them to become too soft.
- Storage Strategy: Keep cookies in single layers separated by parchment paper to prevent sticking and maintain individual cookie integrity during refrigeration.
