Chocolate Chip Cookies Made In Muffin Pan Sweetened with Honey

1-1/2 cups white-whole wheat flour 

1/2 cup rolled oats, uncooked 

pinch sea salt 

1/2 teaspoon baking soda 

1/2 cup honey* 

1/2 cup peanut butter 

1/4 cup Earth Balance 

1 teaspoon vanilla extract 

1 tablespoon flax meal + 3 tablespoons hot water 

1/2 cup chocolate chips 

1/2 cup crushed peanuts, if you have them 

* I'm sure maple syrup would work well in an equal ratio if you don't have/eat honey.

 

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a standard muffin tin.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream together the peanut butter, honey, and Earth Balance -- until fluffy. Then mix in the vanilla extract and flax egg until well combined.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Then fold in the chocolate chips and peanuts (optional).

Divide evenly into a muffin tin and use lightly moistened fingertips to flatten the tops.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool for a couple minutes before turning over onto a cooling rack to cool completely
