Oatmeal Peanut Butter Cookies

 

Ingredients  

• 1 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 large egg (can substitute 1/4 cup applesauce)
• 2/3 cup maple syrup
• 1 1/4-1/2 cup oats

Instructions 

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• In a large bowl, combine peanut butter, egg and maple syrup. Mix well until thick.
• Add oats in slowly, until mixture is thick. The consistency should be like a sticky cookie dough.
• Using a tablespoon, place heaping tablespoons of mixture on a greased baking sheet. Use your hands to gently form into rounds and press down slightly to flatten.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through. Let cool and serve.
