You need only 8 ingredients to make these easy and healthy peanut butter & oatmeal cookies.
Preheat your oven to 180C. Line your baking tray with parchment paper or a silicon mat. Mix your honey/sugar and egg in a bowl with a whisk until well combined.
Add in the peanut butter, vanilla essence, salt and baking soda. Stir till thoroughly mixed together.
Measure out the oats and oat flour in another bowl and pour in the peanut butter mixture. Mix well.
Scoop 1 tablespoon sized dollops onto the baking tray. The mixture is quite wet. Scatter some chocolate chips on top if using. For the brown sugar cookies, press the tops and slightly flatten them. The cookies with honey spread by themselves and don't need any flattening out.
Bake in the oven for 10 to 13 minutes. Keep checking after 10 minutes. If you want more chewy cookies then take them out around the 10 minute mark. They will look underdone and feel super soft to the touch but they will be the perfect level of chewy. If you want crispier cookies then bake them for around 13 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool for around 10 minutes and transfer them to a wire rack to come to room temperature. You can store them in air tight container.
