"Clean and Healthy" Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip

Is there anything better than warm, gooey homemade cookies on a rainy day?  If there is, I wouldn't know it!  I am a bit of a sugar addict and the 21 Day Fix helped me get it under control.  But some days I just gotta have something that is supposedly "bad for me"!  Enter Pinterest.  While on my favorite app I found a recipe for Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies at http://ototheno.wordpress.com.  They looked really good and easy so I thought I have all the ingredients, I haven't had my cheat meal this weekend, so lets make them and see if they are good.  Photo Creds to Hope.  She wanted to help me make these but then decided that photography was better.  She must take after her Aunt Leigh.  :)

3/4 cup all natural creamy peanut butter 

2 eggs

1 tsp agave nectar

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 tsp vanilla

2/3 cup  quick-cook oats

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. 

2. In a medium bowl, mix oats and baking soda.

3.  In another large bowl, combine the peanut butter, eggs, sugar, agave and vanilla.  Mix with a wooden spoon until uniform and creamy looking (about 2-3 minutes. work those arms).  Dump in the oat mixture and combine.  Then pour in the chocolate chips and combine.

 

 4.  Drop by rounded teaspoons of dough on sheet and bake for 9-11 minutes.  Do not over cook them-unless you are strange and like crunchy cookies.  I prefer warm gooey heaven myself!

Hope, Tony and myself all agree, these cookies are way too good to be good for you! Delish!
