I guess you know this situation \u2013 you are craving something sweet but don\u2019t have anything at home and don\u2019t feel like going to the supermarket to get something. Happens to me quite often. Luckily, I (almost) always have enough ingredients for baking at hand to whip something up quickly. That\u2019s what happened here with these Oats Peanut Butter & M&M\u2019s Cookies. A delicious homemade snack when you are craving something sweet ;)Haferflocken Erdnussbutter M&M\u2019s Cookies | Bake to the rootsWe bake a batch of cookies pretty much every week. Cookies are easy to make and always stay fresh for quite a while. Once baked, you got something to snack on for days. Cookies are normally also good to go into the freezer \u2013 in case you want to extend their life expectancy. Perfect for days you don\u2019t want to do anything but snack ;PI usually plan my recipes in advance. I write down a recipe, get the ingredients, and then I start baking. The baking session for these cookies was a bit more spontaneous. I was in the mood for cookies and just grabbed everything I could find in the kitchen cabinets. That\u2019s why I used margarine instead of butter, for example, leftover peanut butter, M&M\u2019s, and oats along with some leftover (premade) porridge mix from the supermarket. A complete hodgepodge you could say ;PHaferflocken Erdnussbutter M&M\u2019s Cookies | Bake to the rootsWhen you throw everything you can find into a bowl and mix it\u2026 things can go wrong \ud83d\ude09 Switching from butter to margarine is easy and rarely causes problems. In case you only got butter at home you can switch back to that, of course. I actually prefer using butter in recipes because margarine is ultra-processed. I love that is plant-based, but hate that there is so much other stuff in it\u2026Cookie Mania \u2013 100 delicious cookie recipes!* \u2013Anyway. The one ingredient here that can be a bit tricky in this recipe is the porridge mix. When I collected all the ingredients I needed for the cookies, I realized, I needed more rolled oats. Well\u2026 a porridge mix is mostly made with oats, so I decided to add some of that to the cookie dough. Depending on the other ingredients in your porridge mix (e.g., chia seeds, psyllium husks, and stuff like that) you have to be careful. Those additional ingredients might require the addition of more liquid to a dough. Stuff that thickens porridge can suck up a lot of moisture and create dry cookies. Nobody wants a dry cookie, so keep that in mind ;PClick on the picture to get to the recipe \u2013Click on the picture to get to the recipe \u2013If you would like to try out more cookie recipes with oats, you might also want to take a look at these two recipes here: delicious Kinder Chocolate Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies or my vegan Banana & Walnut Oats Cookies.

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside.2. Add the margarine (or butter) and both sugars to a large bowl and mix until very light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until well combined. Next, add the peanut butter and vanilla extract and mix in. In a separate bowl mix the flour with porridge oats, rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Add to the large bowl and mix until just combined \u2013 do not overmix! Add the chocolate chips and M&M\u2019s and fold in. Let the dough sit for 5 minutes.3. Use a large cookie scoop* and place dough portions on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten the dough portions \u2013 the dough is not spreading a lot. I could place eight cookies on the baking sheet. Bake the cookies for about 15-16 minutes. Take the cookies out of the oven and let them cool down for some time on the baking sheet, then transfer them to a wire rack \u2013 let them cool down completely. Repeat the process with the remaining dough to bake more cookies.1. Den Ofen auf 180\u00b0C (350\u00b0F) Ober-\/Unterhitze vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen.2.
