Serves:
Ingredients
- 1½cupscreamy peanut butter,or chunky, that’s one full 16-oz jar minus ¼ cup
- 2½cupscoconut sugar,packed, or 2 cups lightly packed brown sugar
- ⅓cupcoconut oil,melted, or 5 tbsp melted butter
- 3large eggs
- 2tspbaking soda
- 2tspvanilla extract
- 2½cupsoats,quick-cooking, or 2¾ cups old-fashioned oats, certified gluten-free if necessary
- flaky sea salt,optional, for sprinkling
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two large, rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats for easy clean-up.
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter with the sugar and coconut oil. Use an electric mixer or a large spoon to mix until well combined. Add the eggs, baking soda and vanilla, and mix well. Add the oats and mix until they are evenly incorporated.
-
Drop 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheets. These cookies spread while baking, so leave a couple of inches around each one. Gently shape them into a more rounded mound and press down lightly so they are no taller than an inch.
-
Bake 8 to 10 minutes, until the cookies are just starting to turn golden around the edges. Do not overbake. They will flatten more as they cool.
-
Let the cookies cool for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. In the meantime, bake your next round of cookies, and so on.
-
If desired, sprinkle the cookies lightly with flaky sea salt. Let them cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. Cookies will keep well for several days at room temperature.
