Recipe Steps:
The best thing about this recipe is how easy it is! Yes they also taste great but in my opinion recipes always taste better when they require less work haha.
In a bowl, you’ll whisk an egg before adding in the other 4 ingredients.
You’ll mix everything together well with a spatula then add in any additions you want (See below for my favorite add ins).
Then take a cookie scoop and add the batter to a greased baking sheet. Then flatten the cookies with a fork.
You’ll bake the cookies for 12-14 minutes. Then let the cool before eating them all in one sitting. Kidding…. kind of haha.
Recipe Substitutions:
For the peanut butter– sub any other nut butter like a creamy almond butter or a tasty cashew butter. For nut free options, use some sun butter.
For the maple syrup– you can sub honey.
For the egg- you can sub a flax seed egg (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 tbsp water mixed together and let thicken for 5 minutes)
Optional Add Ins:
These 4 ingredient oatmeal cookies are so simple but also allows for many add in ideas! Some of my favorites:
Dried fruit- raisins, prunes, dried berries
Chocolate Chips- these are my current favorite!
Chopped nuts- pecans are absolutely delicious in these.
Flavored protein or collagen. This vanilla collagen is SO good.
Or a splash of some vanilla extract. I love this alcohol free one .
