I always love easy recipes that require only minimal ingredients just like these four-ingredient peanut butter oatmeal cookies. This simple recipe needs only an egg, creamy peanut butter (Yum!), maple syrup, and oats. Unlike other cookie recipes I’ve tried, this is the easiest and quickest. These cookies are also perfect for my mom, which is now on a strict diet.
Peanut butter is one of my favorites. I never run out of it. Peanut butter adds delicious flavor, and it boosts healthy fat and protein. Mix it with egg and oats plus maple syrup, and you have yourself a guilt-free and even more filling treat. These peanut butter oatmeal cookies are not too sweet, a little crispy on the outside, and deliciously chewy on the inside.
