How to Make These Cookie Treasures
What You’ll Need:
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter (just peanuts and salt!)
- 2/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 cups rolled oats (make sure they’re certified gluten-free)
- 1/2 cup natural candy-coated chocolate (use vegan options)
- 1/2 cup mini dairy-free chocolate chips
Steps to Deliciousness:
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the Base: In a large mixing bowl, blend peanut butter, maple syrup, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda, and sea salt until smooth.
- Add the Fun Stuff: Stir in the oats, candy-coated chocolate, and mini chocolate chips until you have a delicious, evenly mixed dough.
- Scoop & Shape: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, place about 1.5 tablespoons of dough on your baking sheet. Gently flatten each dough ball slightly and top with a couple extra candies for a colorful touch.
- Bake to Perfection: Bake for about 11-13 minutes, or until golden. Let them cool slightly before devouring! Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
