Recently, the glorious weather us Brits have experienced has disappeared behind rain clouds (typical), so to take advantage of the stay indoors weather, I spent some time in the kitchen. Not being stocked up with many baking ingredients, very little flour and sugar and no vanilla essence, but still wanting to making something simple and delicious, I opted for my 6 ingredients peanut butter cookies.
Personally, I dont like peanut butter cookies to be overly sweet and thats a great thing about this recipe - it has a nice subtle hint of sweetness that is very satisfying. And because of the peanut butter and oats they are a great, filling snack - so you wont be needing to reach for another.
Usually, I add in a handful of chocolate chips and when I had the image in my head of these freshly baked, creamy cookies with chunks of dark chocolate melting in my mouth *licks lips* well I darted into the kitchen to get started. However, as I reached for the special dark chocolate we had picked up the other week, I discovered an empty packet thanks to my brothers. So I had to skip on them this time. But I still grabbed one once they had slightly cooled and it was just as good.
These soft, chewy cookies have become a favourite of the family. They are easy enough to quickly whip up a batch for any occasion and simple enough to make for fun with kids.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup oats (65g)
- 2/3 cup peanut butter (150g)
- 1 egg
- 2tbsp honey
- 50ml unsweetened almond milk (or milk of choice, a sweetened milk will slightly change how sweet the cookies are)
- 1/2tsp baking powder
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and lightly grease a baking tray(s) then set aside
2. Whisk together the peanut butter, honey and egg.Then gradually pour in your milk of choice and whisk until it reaches a smooth consistency.
3. In a separate bowl combine the oats and baking powder.
4. Gradually fold the oats mixture into the peanut butter mixture, then if you are adding any extras fold them into the mixture too.
5. Place on your baking tray and gently flatten. Bake in the oven for around 15 minutes or until a golden brown. Once baked set aside to cool and then enjoy!
