Ingredients
1 cup quick cooking oats (blended into fine flour)
3/4 cup smooth natural peanut butter
1 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup honey
1 large egg
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350º F.
Place quick-cooking oats in a blender and process for 30 seconds until a fine flour forms.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the oat flour, peanut butter, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract, honey, and egg.
Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients thoroughly until a thick dough forms.
Scoop rounded tablespoons of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork to create a classic cross-hatch pattern.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges turn golden brown.
Notes
Ensure the egg is at room temperature for the best emulsion. If the dough is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before shaping. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
