ik hou van mijn banana peanut butter oatmeal cookies, but sometimes I love a crispy cookie that doesn’t taste like banana. These 3-ingredient oatmeal cookies taste like thick digestive cookies. They are crunchy, crumbly, a bit on the dry side, but the kind of breakfast cookies that you will love to dip in a glass of oat milk.

Havermoutkoekjes met 3 ingrediënten
Ingrediënten
- 1 cup Snelle havermout - (notitie 1)
- 3 eetlepels Ahornsiroop
- ⅔ cup Pindakaas
Optionele smaken
- 1 theelepel Vanille-extract
- 1 theelepel Kaneel
- ¼ cup Chocolate Chips
Instructies
- Verwarm de oven voor tot 180 °C (350 °F). Bekleed een grote bakplaat met bakpapier. Zet opzij.
- In a mixing bowl, pour the quick oats, fresh drippy peanut butter, and maple syrup until a sticky cookie dough forms.
- Scoop about two tablespoons of cookie dough using a cookie dough scoop. Press the dough in the cookie scoop and release it on the baking sheet.
- Press down the dough ball with your hands. The cookies won't expand much in the oven. The thinner, the crispier and harder the cookies come out. I like to keep mine thick in the center. They are crumbly and crunchy, but not hard.
- Bake the cookies for 15-18 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C) until slightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool down on a the rack for 5 minutes then on a cooling rack at room temperature.
Notes
Voedingsbegeleiding
Ingrediënten en vervangingen
You only need 3 ingredients to make the cookie dough. This recipe is very versatile, so you can then incorporate any add-ins you like.
- Snelle havermout – Quick oats are essential for the right texture, as they are finer than rolled oats and absorb liquid better. If using havermout, you’ll need to pulse them briefly in a food processor to make them more suitable for this recipe. Avoid using them whole, as they may make the cookies too dry. Certified glutenvrije haver can also be used if needed.
- Ahornsiroop – Maple syrup acts as both a sweetener and binder in the cookies. You can replace it with other liquid sweeteners like agavesiroop, kokosnectarof sugar-free liquid monk fruit. Maple syrup adds a subtle caramel flavor, which pairs nicely with peanut butter.
- Pindakaas – Peanut butter provides fat, flavor, and moisture to the cookies. Make sure to use fresh, drippy peanut butter, as dry or old peanut butter won’t mix well. Amandelboter, cashew boterof zonnebloempittenboter can be used as alternatives if you prefer a different flavor or want a zonder noten optie.
How to Make 3-Ingredient Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies are really easy to make in just a few minutes. Here are the key steps.

Pour all 3 base ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Stir the mixture until it’s sticky.

Form 6 cookie dough balls and place them on a baking sheet.

Druk de koekjes plat en bak ze 15-18 minuten op 180 °C.

Melt coconut oil and chocolate chips in a small mixing bowl and dip the warm cookies.

Let the chocolate shell and cookies cool down on a wire rack.
Carine's baktips
- Choose the Right Oats – Quick oats are key to achieving the right consistency. They bind the ingredients together well without making the dough too dry. If you only have rolled oats, pulse them briefly in a food processor to create a coarse texture similar to quick oats.
- Verse pindakaas – Make sure your peanut butter is fresh and drippy. Older, drier peanut butter won’t blend well and can result in crumbly cookies. If your peanut butter is too dry, try adding a bit of olie or extra maple syrup to help moisten the dough.
- Shape the Cookies – These cookies don’t spread much in the oven, so press them down to your desired thickness. If you prefer dikker cookies with a chewy center, shape them accordingly. For krokante cookies, flatten them more before baking.
- Bak tijd – The baking time is key for the texture. For a knapperiger koekje, bake them closer to 18 minutes. If you prefer them softer in the center, check them around the 15-minute mark. Be sure to watch them closely, as ovens can vary.
- Helemaal koel – Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet to firm up before transferring them to a cooling rack. This helps them maintain their shape and prevents crumbling.
- Chocoladeschelp – For an added treat, dip the cooled cookies in gesmolten chocolade for a crisp chocolate coating. Simply melt pure chocola (85% cocoa) with a teaspoon of kokosolie, dip the bottom of each cookie, and allow them to set in the freezer for 10 minutes.
Bewaaradvies
- Op kamertemperatuur – These cookies can be stored in an airtight container voor maximaal 2 dagen. They’ll stay crisp and fresh at room temperature, making them perfect for a quick snack or breakfast.
- In de koelkast – If you prefer to store them in the fridge, they can last up to 4 days in an airtight container. Just be aware that they will harden in the fridge. To restore their softer texture, let them sit at room temperature for about an hour before eating.
- Bevriezen – You can also freeze the dough balls before baking. Simply shape the cookies, freeze them on a baking sheet until solid, then store them in a Ziploc-zak. When ready to bake, no need to thaw—just bake them a few minutes longer.





Can we use pistachio butter ?
Probably yes! Usually you can swap any nut butter by another one.

Can I add or substitute any amount with protein powder?
Probably, but I haven’t tried yet so I am not sure how much. Protein powder is highly liquid absorbent and it will required more liquid to firm up. You can try my protein oatmeal cookies gebruiken.
