Nutritious Peanut Butter Chia Seed Cookies Recipe

These cookies are soft, chewy, and packed with flavor. They take about 25 minutes from start to finish and yield approximately 12 cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup chia seeds
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Optional: 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or nuts

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. Stir in the rolled oats, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt until well combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts.
3. Form Cookies: Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of the spoon.
4. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
5. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
