Oats Peanut Butter Cookies without egg is not just a healthy choice but also keeps your fake hunger pangs away for long!
About my world and Cookies
Oats Peanut Butter cookies is a simple recipe and doesnt involve too much thinking of ingredients or set up. One can make them for an easy evening snack for tea or coffee.
Lets welcome the winters with delicious and easy options for eating.
The taste and texture reminds me of the gajjacks we have during the winter season! Nothing beats that wonderful taste. Being an Indian, gives you an edge to have a wonderful experience of enjoying different cuisines.
As a kid, we had the luxury of having cake rusks, Atta biscuits and jam biscuits. Perhaps, my world was restricted to only them and the word ‘Cookie’ got added to my dictionary when I was a teenager.
Given a choice, I would always have cake rusk! This reminds me of childhood days and the independence that surrounded us.
Still instead of munching on processed market food snacks, I would prefer a home-cooked cookie on any day!
As I type this post, I feel a little choked up due to smog levels rising high in the city and I wish that old days could come back not just for my amazing memories but also for the fresh air in the hope that breathing it, I could be again independent in true sense…
Why Peanut Butter?
Peanut Butter is the most additive butter I have ever come across! I believe thats the story of my life. Rejecting at first and accepting for whole life.
The first time I tasted it, I totally rejected it. Little did I know that years later, I would have spoonful of peanut butter as a mid-day snack!
I love the blending flavours of salt and sugar and thats why I chose salted crunchy peanut butter.
You may choose any type of butter as per your preference.
Nutrition in Peanut Butter
Loaded with healthy fats, fibre and protein, peanut butter can be an replacement for dairy butter.
Though a fat in itself, it can lead to weight loss as it helps make you full for longer and you dont have to look for unhealthy snacks.
Be it soups, desserts, a simple spread on bread, peanut butter can help you save calories that you get from eating Namkeens and other processed foods!
Ingredients Overview
All we need is Amul butter, Peanut Butter, Milk, Sugar, cinnamon and cardamom powder, oats, wheat flour and desi ghee, raisins!!
If you dont wish to use Amul butter, you may skip it and use additional desi ghee at that step. Dry fruits like almonds, walnut can also be added. Just crush them in mortar and pestle coarsely.
Well Desi ghee can be replaced by any oil but trust me upon this, desi ghee can do wonders to your recipe.
Can it be Vegan?
Yes by skipping milk and Amul butter, you may easily make this recipe a vegan. Instead of dairy milk, any other vegan milk like coconut milk, almond milk can be used.
Hiccups in Baking
Its natural to face some hiccups while baking anything. Temperature condition, quality of ingredients used, equipment used and ratios do make a lot of impact in baking.
Ideally, making a fail free recipe in baking requires to follow the ratios and the steps accurately.
I have used an OTG (old model) for baking the cookies at 200 degree C. Since its efficient, mine were done in maximum 10 min (preheating of 5 min was done).
I live in India and I made it a few weeks back when temperature was around 30 degree C.
For cookies, dont overmix. Let the mixture be sticky and soggy. Its good that it sticks as the cookie would be crisp and no very chewy.
Detailed Recipe Step by Step
1) Gather all the ingredients. Add Amul Butter along with sugar in a bowl.
2) Add Desi ghee to above and add milk gradually and keep mixing.
3) Add peanut butter, cinnamon and cardamom spices and mix well.
4) Adjust Milk quantity. Add wheat flour to the above mixture.
5) Add oats, chopped raisins, little baking soda and mix well to make a smooth yet loose (not-tight) dough. Dont overmix.
6) Transfer the dough to a greased parchment paper placed on a baking dish. You may use a cookie maker or make small balls by hand. Place the balls on paper in reasonable gaps and make a thumb impression to make them flat.
Preheat the OTG for 5 min and bale the cookies at 200 degrees C. Keep a check on aroma and texture. Time may vary as per equipment and conditions.
7) Soon they become aromatic and change color to light brown. Once you feel they look almost done, switch off the OTG and keep them inside for the extra warmth.
8) Once out, place on wiring rack for cooling down. They would be super soft when out from OTG and would become crisp after they cool off.
Be Patient as the dessert is ready! Enjoy it with milk , tea or coffee!!
