Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats gluten-free
- ½ cup of gluten-free flour
- 1 cup of peanut butter powder PBfit or PB2
- 1 cup of almond slices
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
- ¾ cup of maple syrup
- ½ cup of coconut oil melted
- ½ teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 Degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- In a small mixing bowl add the eggs, vanilla and maple syrup and mix until it is combined. In a large mixing bowl add the oats, gluten-free flour, peanut butter powder, almond slices, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and coconut oil. Mix well then add the combined eggs, vanilla and maple syrup mixture and mix until the oats are completely moist and coated. Cover and let it set in the refrigerator for about 1 hour so the moisture soaks into the oats and the oil hardens.
- Once the dough has hardened roll it into 2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart. Then smash them down using the palm of your hand keeping each peanut butter oatmeal cookie about 1 inch apart still.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes and after they finish cooking immediately flatten with the spatula right after the peanut butter oatmeal cookies come out of the oven (to form a patty). Let cool 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely.
