Calories 130kcal
- ½ cup natural peanut butter salted
- 6 Tablespoons coconut sugar see Lower the Sugar Notes in post
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup quick oats
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Begin with room temperature ingredients, as this facilitates mixing.
Beat or vigorously stir together the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon together just until combined.
Beat or vigorously stir in the egg and baking soda, again just until combined.
Stir in the oats; the mixture will be very thick at this point.
Divide the dough into 10 equal-sized balls and flatten them onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
Bake the cookies for 9-12 minutes, or until golden.
Once out of the oven, gently press down on the tops with a fork (see above image) to decrease air and compact the cookie for best texture/taste.
Cool and enjoy!
