Tips to Make Peanut Butter Oat Flour Cookies

• Make sure to use creamy peanut butter for smoother cookies. If you prefer crunchy peanut butter, that works too!
• Don’t over mix the dough to keep the cookies tender.
• For added flavor, try mixing in some chopped nuts or dried fruit.
• If you want softer cookies, bake them on the shorter side of the time range.

Variation

You can switch up the flavors by using different nut butters like almond or cashew butter. You can also use coconut sugar instead of honey or maple syrup for a different sweetness. For a fun twist, add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg to enhance the flavor.
