Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- ¼ cup honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Combine rolled oats, peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt in a medium bowl.
- Stir everything together until well‑combined and the mixture holds together.
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Flatten each ball into a small disc using your palm.
- Make the sandwiches: spread a bit of peanut butter on one disc, top with another disc to make a sandwich.
- Chill the assembled cookies in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up before serving.
Notes
- Use rolled oats for the best chew; quick oats will be softer.
- To make vegan, swap honey with maple syrup.
- Add mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or chopped nuts for texture and flavor.
- For a richer filling, mix a little powdered sugar with peanut butter to make frosting‑like layer.
- Store in an airtight container in fridge up to 1 week; freeze portions for longer storage.
