Ingredients

Scale

1 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups rolled oats
1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), cocoa powder, and vanilla extract over medium heat. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the rolled oats until fully incorporated.
If using, fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form into balls or drop onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Flatten each cookie slightly with the back of a fork.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set before serving.

Notes

These cookies can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
Feel free to substitute almond butter or cashew butter for a different flavor profile.
