These cookies combine a few simple ingredients and then chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Coconut oil, maple syrup, banana, peanut butter, oats, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and mini chocolate chips combine for one delectable treat. No baking is needed. They include everything I love about my daily oatmeal and my favorite afternoon snack. Made with peanut butter and oats, these cookies will fill you up. Each healthy oatmeal cookie contains 175 calories and are naturally sweetened with maple syrup. You can even cut back on the maple syrup without sacrificing flavor.
While they do need to be chilled, I often pack these cookies as a snack when we travel on cold days. Toddlers, kids and adults love them. Make a batch or two each week and keep your fridge stocked with healthy snacks. With peanut butter oatmeal packed into little snack-size servings, you can take your favorite snack on-the-go.
