Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1.5 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup oats
  • 1/4 cup hemp seeds (optional, can be omitted and replaced with 1/4 cup additional oats)
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda

Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup heaping chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) to prepare for baking the cookies.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to ensure even baking.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the 2 eggs until well beaten. Add 1 cup peanut butter, 1/2 cup pure maple syrup, and 1.5 tsp vanilla extract. Stir all together until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in 1 cup oats, 1/4 cup hemp seeds (or 1/4 cup extra oats if omitted), 1/4 tsp sea salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp baking soda. Mix until a thick, sticky dough forms.
  5. Fold in Chocolate Chips: Add 1/2 cup heaping chocolate chips and gently fold them into the dough so they are evenly distributed without melting.
  6. Form Cookie Dough Balls: Using your hands or a spoon/scooper, drop golf ball-sized mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Press each mound down slightly to flatten just a bit for even baking.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes. Bake for 11 minutes if you prefer thicker, chewier cookies, or around 8 minutes for slightly softer cookies. Watch for lightly browned edges and set centers.
  8. Cool and Serve: Remove cookies from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving. This cooling step helps them set perfectly.

Notes

  • You can omit hemp seeds and add an extra 1/4 cup oats instead if preferred.
  • Use natural creamy peanut butter for best texture and flavor.
  • Maple syrup provides a natural sweetness and moisture; do not substitute with granulated sugar.
  • Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • For a vegan version, replace eggs with flax eggs (2 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 6 tbsp water) but note texture will vary slightly.
  • Adjust cinnamon and salt to suit your personal taste preferences.
