Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 2/3 cup unsalted natural creamy peanut butter
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Heaping 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups whole rolled oats
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside to keep the cookies from sticking.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a medium bowl, stir together the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and sea salt until smooth and fully combined.
- Add dry ingredients: Add the whole rolled oats and mini chocolate chips to the wet mixture and stir until everything is evenly incorporated.
- Shape cookies: Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the dough. Use your hands to form the dough into balls, place them on the lined baking sheet, and then flatten each ball into a disk shape with your fingers.
- Chill: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the cookies overnight, about 12 hours, to allow them to firm up and hold their shape.
Notes
- If your peanut butter is salted, start with half the amount of sea salt and adjust to taste.
- Use natural smooth peanut butter, not chunky, to ensure the best texture and consistency.
- Chilling the cookies overnight is essential for the cookies to firm up properly.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred, although the flavor will be slightly different.
- For a vegan option, ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
