Description
Peanut Butter Cookies with oats make a simple treat anyone can bake.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup chunky peanut butter (smooth works too—that’s what I used!)
- 1/2 cup Demerara sugar
- 1 extra-large egg
- 1 1/4 cups steel-cut oats
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Set your oven to 350°F/180°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, beat the peanut butter and sugar with a hand mixer until it looks light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and mix again.
- Stir in the oats and baking soda.
- The dough will feel crumbly; use your hands to knead it into a solid ball. It will come together.
- Roll the dough into 2-inch balls and flatten them right on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, until the edges start to brown.
- Let them cool on a wire rack.
- Once cool, keep them in an airtight container, if they last that long.
These are chewy, nutty, and insanely good straight from the oven.

Crumbly dough, perfect result. These Peanut Butter Cookies with oats might look simple, but they’re packed with flavor and great for on-the-go bites. Ever swapped in chunky vs smooth peanut butter?
Anyone who loves peanut butter and easy baking will enjoy this recipe. The cookies are chewy, quick to make, and need only a few simple ingredients. The oats add texture and make them more satisfying than basic versions. Great for snacks, dessert, or whenever cravings hit.
