Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1.5 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup oats
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds could omit and add 1/4 cup additional oats
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips, heaping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk the eggs in a large bowl until well beaten. Then add in the peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla and stir until well combined.
- Stir in the rest of the ingredients minus the chocolate chips, and combine until a thick, sticky dough forms.
- Add in the chocolate chips and stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Drip golf ball sized mounds of cookie dough onto the cookie sheet, pressing down slightly to flatten them out a bit. I like to take my hands and roll each cookie dough ball before placing it on the cookie sheet but you could use a spoon or scooper.
- Bake at for about 9-11 min, until the cookies are lightly brown around the edge and they look set. I baked my first batch at 11 min and my second batch at 8 min since this recipe makes about 17 cookies.
- Allow the cookies to cool for about 10 min before eating.
