I thought of making my hard training IM chocolate chip cookies but that didn't seem healthy enough. So I thought oatmeal peanut butter cookies would be better. They're not exactly rabbit food but the peanut butter has protein and the oatmeal has lots of fiber and a bit more protein. These cookies are soft and chewy with a great peanut flavor. Super easy to make with ingredients that are always around. Except for butter which I always seem to be running out of - what kind of bad ass baker am I??
Ingredients:
1 cup AP flour
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup butter (at room temperature)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt (I always add extra because I like my baked goods to have that sweet-salty taste)
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Whisk flour, oats, baking soda and salt together in a separate bowl
- In stand mixer cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (scraping down the edges and bottom of bowl occasionally)
- Add egg and vanilla and mix until combine. Mix in peanut butter until completely combined
- Mix in flour mixture until just combined. Use spatula to mix by hand for the last little flour streaks. Place mixture in fridge for 30 minutes
- Place 1 inch balls of mixture on a baking sheet lined with silpat
- Bake for 11-13 minutes until lightly browned at the edges
Distribute to your loved ones (maybe for Valentines day ?!)
