Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats, look for gluten free if necessary
- ½ cup coconut sugar or brown sugar, packed (you can also sub turbinado or raw sugar)
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ¾ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 Tbsp. melted butter or coconut oil
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- ¼ cup dairy free chocolate chips – I used mini enjoy life
- ¼ cup Unreal Chocolate Candy or other mix in: shredded coconut, chopped pecans, more choc chips, etc
Toppings: 1 T additional unreal chocolate candy pieces
Pinch of coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. In a second bowl, mix oats, baking soda, and salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the peanut butter mixture just until combined. Fold in candy coated pieces and chocolate chips.
- With a small cookie scoop, spoon a heaping amount of dough and place on prepared baking sheets. Repeat until dough is gone. You will end up with about 18 cookies.
- Using the back of a spoon, pat down cookies just a bit, then top with additional candy pieces and coarse sea salt (optional)
- Bake in the oven for 11-13 minutes or until lightly golden brown. TIP: I like to slightly undercook my cookies bc they tend to continue cooking as they cool!
- Let cool before enjoying (I transferred mine to a wire rack after a couple of minutes)
