Servings 12 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup peanut butter, I use natural peanut butter with no salt and no sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp ground old-fashioned oats
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed, you can substitute almond flour
  • 1 Pinch salt

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grind your old-fashioned oats and flaxseed in a food processor until powdery. Alternatively, you can use a mortar and pestle if you have one.
  • Add all ingredients to a bowl and mix well.
  • Scoop dough with a teaspoon and roll into small balls, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Gently flatten the tops of the cookies using a fork or, as I do a meat tenderizer.
  • Bake for 12 minutes, or until bottoms of cookies have browned a little.
  • Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.
