Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies (Sugar Free)

I'm happy to say that I've completed almost five months of sugar-free six days a week. It's going great. I love finding more recipes to add to my sugar-free repertoire. These sugar free peanut butter oatmeal cookies use honey or xagave as the sweetener and are tasty as can be. I've adapted the recipe from one by Weelicious to make them not only sugar free but also to use 100% whole grain flour. Enjoy.

Printable Recipe

*Makes 30 cookies

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 Cup butter, softened
1/2 Cup honey or xagave
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Cup peanut butter
1-1/2 Cup whole grain flour (my choice would be oat flour or wonder flour)
1 Cup rolled or quick oats
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt

DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 350. In a stand mixer, combine the butter and honey (or xagave) and mix for about one minute. Add the egg, vanilla and peanut butter and beat for another minute or until smooth. In a separate bowl combine together the dry ingredients and mix. Slowly add the dry ingredients to wet and mix to incorporate. Scoop dough into two tablespoon amounts and drop onto ungreased cookie sheet. Using a fork, press gently down on each ball of dough to make a checkerboard pattern. Bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes or until slightly brown.
