Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Oatmeal Bites

Yield: 2 dozen +

WHAT YOU WILL NEED

• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 Tbsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
• 1 large egg
• 1 1/3 cup flour
• 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1 cup chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Set oven to 375F
2. Grease and flour 2 mini muffin pans (or use paper liners)
3. Cream the butter, sugar, and peanut butter together until smooth. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
4. Mix in the flour, baking soda and oats.
5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
6. Fill the muffin cups almost full with a scoop of dough. I use my 1 1/2 inch scoop to make it easy.
7. Bake for about 12-15 minutes until risen and lightly browned.
8. Cool completely in the pan, on a rack before attempting to remove the cookies from the pan. Run a small blunt knife around the edge of the cookies to loosen them if necessary.

NOTES

You can use chunky peanut butter, or almond butter if you like.
