Ingredients
  

For the Cookies
  • 3 cups rolled oats opt for gluten-free oats if needed
  • 1 cup peanut butter creamy
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup for natural sweetness
  • ¼ cup brown sugar can swap with coconut sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon adjust based on preference
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter or coconut oil for dairy-free
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup raisins or swap with dried cranberries or chopped dates
  • a pinch salt essential for flavor balance

Equipment

  • medium saucepan

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup of creamy peanut butter, ½ cup of honey (or maple syrup), ¼ cup of unsalted butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and a pinch of salt. Heat over low heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring continuously until the mixture is smoothly melted and well-combined.
  2. Once the mixture is smooth, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, mixing thoroughly until well incorporated.
  3. Fold in 3 cups of rolled oats into the warm mixture in the saucepan. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to ensure the oats are evenly coated with the wet ingredients, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gently mix in 1 cup of raisins until they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.
  5. Using damp hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and form them into rounded cookie shapes, flattening them slightly. Place them onto a parchment-lined tray.
  6. Refrigerate the shaped cookies for about 30 minutes, until they firm up. You can speed this up by placing them in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Notes

Keep the heat low while melting the mixture to avoid boiling for the best texture. Use fresh ingredients for optimal flavor, and don't skip refrigeration for the right consistency.
