This recipe starts in the food processor and finishes in a mixing bowl so you don’t lose the texture of the oats or the baking chips. Altogether it’s about a 30 minute recipe that makes very little mess (a.k.a. my kind of recipe). These guys get their peanut butter kick from two sources:
- Peanut butter that’s added into the batter2) Peanut butter chips that are baked right alongside the chocolate chips The double PB combo makes my heart swoon, and the chocolate chips make the perfect flavor complement. The cookies bake up tender and hearty with the perfect combo of salty-sweet. And because they’re naturally sweetened they’re really quite “healthy” enough to enjoy as a post-workout snack or after-meal dessert. In a pinch, I wouldn’t scoff at the idea of having a couple for breakfast. But coming from the girl who loves a good Friday donut. A note about the PB baking chips: They are 100% natural, so they don’t keep their form as well as traditional baking chips, which get extra help from a variety of additives. As you can see, you’ll get a few little holes during the baking process, but the flavor is 100% spot on! If that’s the “trade-off” for natural peanut butter chips, count me in! Hope you try these little guys! Make a big batch and throw them in the freezer. They’re like a little granola bar bite on the go, and the perfect healthier treat when your sweet tooth strikes. Enjoy!
