Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (optional)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
Add-ins
- 2/3 cup chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are fully beaten and slightly frothy.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the peanut butter and pure maple syrup to the beaten eggs. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and homogenous.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, ground cinnamon (if using), baking soda, and sea salt into the wet mixture. Continue mixing until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold the chocolate chips into the dough evenly to distribute sweetness and texture.
- Shape Cookies: Drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. You can make 6 giant cookies or smaller ones based on your preference for portion size.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 9 to 12 minutes. The cookies should appear set and slightly golden around the edges. A typical baking time is 10 minutes.
- Cool: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before removing or serving. This helps them firm up and enhances texture.
Notes
- For a nuttier flavor, use natural or freshly ground peanut butter without added sugar.
- Adjust the size of cookies according to your portion preferences; baking time may vary slightly.
- Ground cinnamon is optional but adds a warm spice that complements peanut butter well.
- Use parchment paper to prevent cookies from sticking and to ensure easy cleanup.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- These cookies are gluten-free if using certified gluten-free oats.
