Oat and Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
- 250 g rolled oats
- pinch baking powder
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter see Notes
- Hot water from a boiled kettle
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C (350F)
- Line 2 baking trays with wax or baking paper
- Put the oats and baking powder in a large mixing bowl and stir to combine
- Add peanut butter to the bowl and mix by gradually adding in the hot water and stirring with a dinner knife until the mixture comes together like a rough dough
- Wait until mixture is cool enough to handle and then roll into 3.5 to 4cm balls and place on the baking trays
- Flatten the balls to about 1.5cm thick (see Notes)
- Place baking trays into the oven and cook for approximately 20 minutes or until slightly browned
- Leave on baking trays to cool
Notes
- I use organic peanut butter made with 100% peanuts (no added salt)
- Don’t worry if the cookies crack on the edges when you flatten them. They will still hold together after you bake them
