4-Ingredient Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies
High-Protein · No Flour · No Eggs · Healthy Snack
📝 Ingredients
- Peanut butter (homemade or natural): ½ cup
- Instant oats (or rolled oats): ½ cup
- Unrefined cane sugar (jaggery): ½ cup
- Desiccated coconut: 2 tbsp
- Warm milk (optional, to bind): 2 tbsp
👩🍳 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
- In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, oats, and jaggery/sugar until well combined.
- Add the desiccated coconut and mix again. If the dough feels too dry to hold together, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm milk to bind it.
- Shape the mixture into small, even cookies and place them on a baking tray.
- Bake for 10–15 minutes (keep an eye on them depending on your oven).
- Important: Let the cookies cool COMPLETELY on the tray before moving them. They firm up as they cool; if you move them while hot, they will crack!
💡 Pro-Tips
- Cooling is Key: These cookies are delicate when warm. Patience is the secret ingredient here!
- Sweetener Swap: Feel free to use your preferred sugar if you don’t have jaggery on hand.
- Texture: Using natural peanut butter gives the best texture, but any smooth peanut butter will work beautifully.
