Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cooking Rack

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups rolled oats use GF certified if needed
  • 1 ¼ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips dairy-free if needed

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, mix peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Stir in oats, baking soda, and salt.
  • Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Scoop onto baking sheet and flatten slightly.
  • Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set.
  • Cool for 10 minutes on the pan before transferring to a rack.

Notes

  • Add a scoop of protein powder if you want extra grams per cookie.
  • Cookies will be soft when they come out of the oven but firm up as they cool.  The longer you wait to cool, the more likely they will not break. 
  • Use natural peanut butter for best results, but make sure it’s well stirred.
