Chewy, perfect peanut butter oatmeal cookies ready with basic ingredients in less than 30 minutes! This is seriously the best peanut butter oatmeal recipe EVER.
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar packed
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 2.5 cups quick-cooking oats gluten-free if desired
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- optional: 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat the oven to 350ºF and spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- Next, combine melted butter and brown sugar until there are no lumps. Then, add maple syrup, egg, peanut butter, and vanilla and mix again.
- Add salt, quick-cooking oats, and baking soda and mix until everything is combined. Add in optional chocolate chips and mix again.
- Refrigerate dough for 20 minutes to set.
- Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter into your hands and form it into a ball. Place it onto the cookie sheet and slightly press down to form a cookie shape. The batter will feel a bit wet, but they will be so soft and chewy when done baking!*
- Repeat the process above until you've fit 12 cookies on the baking sheet.
- Bake cookies at 350ºF for 11-14 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown.
- Remove cookies and let cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to continue cooling for at least 20 minutes to firm up.

Notes
- Cookie dough - the cookies will spread just a little bit when baking. If you don't press them down, you will get dome-shaped cookies.
- If you use less than 2 tablespoons of dough, consider reducing your bake time by 1-2 minutes as your cookies will be smaller.
- It might help to slightly moisten your hands before rolling the cookie dough and washing your hands in-between balls because the dough is pretty sticky.
- Nutrition information does not include chocolate chips.
