Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 to 4 tablespoons honey (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 3 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 3/4 cup old fashioned oats, plus more if needed
  • Optional mix-ins (up to 1/4 cup total): mini chocolate chips, chopped almonds, raisins, dried cranberries, pumpkin seeds, protein powder, ground flaxseeds, shredded coconut, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add peanut butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Microwave for about 20 seconds, just until warm.
  2. Stir the mixture until smooth and combined.
  3. Add oats, chia seeds, and any optional mix-ins. Stir until evenly combined.
  4. If too wet, add more oats; if too dry, add more honey or peanut butter.
  5. Divide into 8 portions and roll into balls.
  6. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flatten slightly into cookie shapes.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator or freezer until firm and set.
  8. Remove a few minutes before serving and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use almond, cashew, or sunflower butter instead of peanut butter for variation.
  • Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan version.
  • Certified gluten-free oats make the recipe gluten-free.
  • Chilling time is essential for cookies to firm up and hold together.
  • Best served cold or at room temperature — no reheating needed.
