Ingredients

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 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
2 eggs
1 teaspoon 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 tablespoon Unreal chocolate candy pieces
Pinch 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)
