These delicious cookies are quick and simple to make. They are made with whole grains, using wholemeal flour and oats. They are sweetened with maple syrup and have a lovely peanut butter flavor with a hint of cinnamon and vanilla. Dark chocolate chips are also used in this recipe, however they also taste great without.

If possible try and find peanut butter that is made with 100 peanuts rather than with oil fillers.

This is a quick and easy recipe and these cookies can be made from start to finish in just over 20 minutes (plus a few minutes for cooling). Its an ideal recipe to make with the kids since they are not a significant undertaking, and you can be done and dusted without destroying the kitchen too much (in my experience anyway).

The recipe makes about 14 cookies and I find it easiest to roll the cookies into balls first, place them on the parchment paper, and then flatten them out with something flat like the bottom of a cup.

The cookies take around 12 minutes in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius (355 degrees Fahrenheit). Since ovens tend to vary slightly, another sign that they are ready is when they start to darken around the outside.
