Ingredients
- ⅔ cup rolled oats
- 1 cup powdered peanut butter
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ⅛ tsp salt
- ⅓ cup natural peanut butter
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup Lakanto golden sweetener (or brown sugar or Swerve brown sugar)
- 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place the rolled oats in a small food processor or blender cup. Pulse several times until the oats become a coarse flour.
- In a large bowl, combine the homemade oat flour, powdered peanut butter, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the peanut butter, almond milk, Lakanto sweetener, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Use a small cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon to portion out the cookie dough on the prepared baking sheet. Press down each cookie about halfway with your palm or a fork.
- Bake the cookies for 8 minutes in the oven, or until the top is golden brown and doesn’t appear wet. Let cool a bit on the pan, then serve slightly warm.
Notes
- Use a natural peanut butter where the ingredients are just peanuts and salt (i.e. Teddies or another similar brand). It works best for this recipe because it has a different texture than conventional peanut butter.
- If using unsalted natural peanut butter, increase the salt to ¼ teaspoon.
- Do not overcook these. If you do, the cookies will be dry. Pulling right at 8 minutes leaves them tender and chewy in the middle.
- These cookies are lightly sweetened. If you prefer sweeter peanut butter cookies, feel free to add a little more of your favorite sweetener.
