Killer Wheat-Free Peanut Butter Molasses Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

found a bunch of recipes for peanut butter cookies online. didn't care for the tons of sugar required so did a little experimenting. crazy i know. all measurements are approximate...

these cookies taste: cakey. deep. dark. earthy. hippie. yummmmmmy.


1 cup peanut butter *
1/2 cup molasses **
1/4 cup maple syrup
3/4 cup oatmeal
1 egg
1 teaspoon of baking soda
handful of choclate chips - optional


* natural no added sugar
** i used unsulphured blackstrap


preheat to 350F
mix all together in a bowl
make cookies on parchment paper
bake for 10 mins
let sit for like 5 mins, these are a little delicate


good luck not eating entire sheet of these in one go especially if you are having a stressful bedtime routine with your nutty children that particular day... just sayin these are good remedy for whatever ails you.


and shawn proclaimed these as his new favourite cookies. fyi.
