🛒 Ingredients
(Simple, clean, and pantry-friendly)
½ cup natural peanut butter (creamy, unsweetened)
¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or low-fat)
¼ cup honey or maple syrup (to taste)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup oat flour (store-bought or homemade)
Optional add-ins:
Chocolate chips
Chopped peanuts
Cinnamon
Sea salt flakes
👩🍳 Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C / 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix the peanut butter, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Add the oat flour and gently stir until a soft dough forms.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and place on the baking sheet.
Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or fork.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are set but centers remain soft.
Let cool for 5 minutes — they firm up slightly while staying tender inside.
