Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cup quick oats pulse into fine oat flour
  • 0.75 cup creamy peanut butter room temperature
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 0.75 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp fine salt
  • 0.25 cup milk add more 1 tsp at a time if needed
  • 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup mini M&M's

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Add the quick oats to a food processor and pulse until very fine, like flour. Optional safety step: spread on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F for 10 minutes, then cool completely.
  • In a large bowl, beat the peanut butter, softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until combined.
  • Add the ground oats and mix on low until the dough looks evenly combined and crumbly.
  • Drizzle in the milk a little at a time until the dough is soft and scoopable, but not sticky.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips and mini M&M's. Serve immediately or chill 20 minutes for a firmer texture.
  • Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months. Enjoy by the spoonful or roll into bite-size balls.

Notes

For a gluten-free treat, use certified gluten-free oats. If you prefer a classic cookie dough flavor, substitute 1.5 cups heat-treated all-purpose flour for the ground oats. Adjust milk as needed for a creamy, scoopable texture.
