I've been craving peanut butter lately and these cookies sounded like they would really hit the spot. We all really liked the flavor. They weren't too sweet so they made for a tasty breakfast.
For me, they would be a good breakfast or even a snack. It's easy to grab a couple and head on your way. My children, however, needed a large handful of cookies to satisfy them in the morning so if you typically eat a bigger breakfast, these may not be filling enough for you.
My cookies stayed soft and chewy. I liked the texture but they did fall apart very easily. We stored them in a container in the fridge. Each time you grabbed a cookie, a few pieces would fall off the side of the cookie. Not a big deal for me...just a chance to eat a few more bites of the leftover crumbs here and there :)
Substitutions/Additions made by Cooking After Class for PB Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies:
- did not make homemade peanut butter...just used what was in the pantry
- eliminated the cinnamon...wanted to taste more of the PB and didn't want the cinnamon to overpower the cookies
- used regular unsweetened almond milk, I don't buy vanilla flavored
Tips from Cooking After Class for making PB Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies:
- if you don't have oat flour, just grind up oats in a food processor until they are the consistency of flour
RECIPE: PB Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
Effort: Quick and Easy
Time: 20 minutes
Kids Comments: Good but I need a lot to fill me up
Make it Again: Yes, they are a good on the go snack/breakfast for me. Not so much the kids as they eat a ton for one meal!
