Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 1/2 cups certified gluten-free old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup M&M’s

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Beat in eggs and vanilla, then add peanut butter and mix until smooth, scraping down the bowl as needed.
  3. Add oats, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low just until combined, without overmixing.
  4. Stir in chocolate chips and M&M’s with a spatula until evenly distributed.
  5. Scoop dough by 2-tablespoon rounds onto prepared sheets, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers look underdone. Cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

Notes

For the best texture, use processed creamy peanut butter (like Jif or Skippy). Natural peanut butter can work but the dough may be slightly more fragile; stir it well before measuring. Always check labels on oats and candies to ensure they meet your gluten-free needs.
