Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats

Wet Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup peanut butter (natural, unsweetened)
  • 1/3 cup honey

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (preferably dark or semi-sweet)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, peanut butter, honey, and chocolate chips. Use a spoon or spatula to thoroughly mix until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Scoop Cookies: Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart as they will spread slightly.
  4. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set and edges begin to turn golden.
  5. Cool: Remove cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a low-sugar option, use dark chocolate chips with at least 70% cacao.
  • You can substitute honey with pure maple syrup if preferred.
  • Ensure the peanut butter is smooth and natural without added sugars for the healthiest results.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract for extra flavor.
