Recipe
Rolled Oats and Peanut Butter Cookie
Ingredients
- 1 ripe banana
- 4 Tbsp butter
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ⅔ cup oats
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Mash the banana with a fork.
- Cut butter in half. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat in the microwave for 10–15 seconds to soften. Be careful not to melt butter.
- In a large bowl, use a mixing spoon to blend butter, banana, and sugar.
- Add peanut butter and brown sugar. Continue mixing until completely combined.
- Add egg and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
- Add flour and baking soda. Mix until smooth.
- Stir in rolled oats. If using chocolate chips or raisins, gently stir in now.
- Scoop dough with a teaspoon. Shape into 1-inch balls. Place dough balls 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Flatten dough balls by using a fork to make a criss-cross pattern on the cookies.
- Bake on the middle rack of the oven until cookies are lightly browned on bottom, about 8–10 minutes. Remove from the oven. Let sit for 5 minutes to firm up. Remove from the tray.
