Ingredients
- 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 to 4 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to 3 tablespoons chia seeds
- 3/4 cup old fashioned oats
- Optional Mix-ins:
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts
- 1/4 cup dried fruit
- 1 to 2 tablespoons seeds, protein powder, or flaxseeds
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Place peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 20 seconds until warm and easy to stir.
- Stir the mixture until smooth, then taste and adjust sweetness if desired.
- Mix in oats, chia seeds, and any chosen mix-ins until evenly combined and thick.
- If the mixture is too loose, add more oats. If too dry, add a small amount of peanut butter or honey.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and roll each into a ball.
- Place them on a parchment-lined tray and gently flatten into cookie shapes.
- Chill in the refrigerator or freezer until firm (about 20–30 minutes).
- Let sit for a few minutes before eating.
Notes
- Use maple syrup instead of honey for a vegan version.
- Almond or sunflower butter works well as a peanut-free option.
- Customize with mix-ins like coconut, cinnamon, or protein powder.
- Adjust oats or wet ingredients to fix texture issues.
