Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the cookies evenly.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey until the mixture is smooth and fully blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oats, vanilla extract, and baking soda until all ingredients are well incorporated into a consistent dough.
- Shape Cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a non-stick surface, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cookies are golden around the edges and set in the center.
- Cool: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cookies to cool completely before serving to help them firm up and enhance flavor.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or hydrogenated oils for the healthiest option and best flavor.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
- For an extra indulgence, consider adding dark chocolate chips to the dough before baking.
