Gluten Free Monster Cookies
These gluten free monster cookies are the perfect easy treat! They're full of all the classic ingredients including peanut butter, oats, chocolate, and M&Ms just minus the flour!
Servings: 10 cookies
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoon butter room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup oats quick, minute or rolled all work
- ¾ cup oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup M&Ms
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips
- 10 small candy eyeballs optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together brown sugar, peanut butter and butter until smooth (about 3-5 minutes). Add in egg and vanilla extract and beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl mix together oats, oat flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Create your dough by slowly adding your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients. Mix together using a spatula or wooden spoon until fully combined. Add in your mix-ins (chocolate chips and M&Ms) and stir again. Roll dough into 10 balls (using about 2 tablespoons of dough in each), arrange on the cookie sheet and gently press down using the palm of your hand (until between ¼-1/2 inch thick), press in additional toppings (ie. candy eyeballs) and bake for about 12 minutes.
