Peanut Butter Breakfast Cookies
These healthy cookies are easy to make, and perfect for breakfast or snacking on the go!
Ingredients
- 1 c (8oz) peanut butter
- ⅓ c (2 ⅔oz) honey see notes
- ¼ c (2oz) oil vegetable or other cooking oil
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ c ground flaxseed
- 1 ½ c oats see notes
- 1 c (5 ½oz) whole wheat flour
- ⅓ c chocolate chips see notes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two cookie sheets.
- Beat together the peanut butter, honey, and oil until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla, then the baking soda, ground flax, oats, and flour. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Roll the dough into balls and flatten slightly; place on prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes, until they puff up and just start to become golden around the bottoms. Leave them on the cookie sheet for at least 10 minutes. (This gives them time to set up, so that they don't fall apart when you remove them.)
- These cookies store well for a long time in an airtight container at room temperature. You can also freeze them.
Notes
If you prefer a sweeter cookie, you can increase the honey to 1/2 cup, and/or increase the chocolate chips to 1/2 cup.
Quick or old-fashioned oats can be used. You can also process old-fashioned oats in a food processor to give them a finer texture.
