Ingredients
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons unsalted natural creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 flax egg 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons warm water, whisked together, set for 15 minutes
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons gluten free oat flour - if using homemade make sure it's very finely ground (not coarse)
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: peanut butter, coconut sugar, maple syrup, flax egg and vanilla.
- In a large bowl, using a rubber spatula, stir together all of the dry ingredients: oats, oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry mixture. Using the spatula, fold and stir until very well mixed.
- Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop and drop cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spread evenly apart. Using a fork, flatten cookies to desired thickness—cookies will spread just a bit. Cookie dough will be sticky.
- Bake for 12-16 minutes. Mine took 14 minutes. Allow cookies to cool on the sheet for about 10 minutes (on a cooling rack). Transfer cookies directly to a cooling rack to cool completely before storing. Storing instructions below. Enjoy!
