How to Make
-
Step 1: In a food processor PULSE 1 cup oats (1 cup only) until ground fine.

Step 2: In a large bowl, stir together ground oats, remaining 1/2 cup whole oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
-
Step 3: In another large bowl with an electric mixer, beat together softened butter and both sugars until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes). Add in eggs, vanilla (or maple extract if using, can use both, 2 tsp maple and 1 tsp vanilla!) and peanut butter; beat until well combined (about 1-2 minutes). Beat in the flour mixture until combined. Add in chocolate chips, grated chocolate and nuts (if using) mix well to combine.
-
Step 4: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Set oven rack to second-lowest position.
-
Step 5: Form the dough into rounded balls and place on a light-greased cookie/baking sheet about 2-inches apart on the sheet.
