2. 2

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).Add the rolled oats to a blender or food processor and blend until you get a coarse flour. You don’t need a fine powder, as the coarse texture adds a nice crunch. Transfer the oat flour to a large mixing bowl. Add salt and baking powder, and mix until well combined.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, mix the olive oil, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

4. 4

   Add the peanut butter mixture to the oats and mix well using a spatula. Slowly pour in the warm oat milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix well. Let the mixture cool slightly.

5. 5

   Use your hands to form a soft and smooth dough. If the dough feels too dry, add a little more warm water. Scoop out 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a smooth ball. If the dough is sticky, roll it directly on a baking sheet. Transfer the dough balls onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. No extra greasing needed. Flatten each cookie using a glass or cup to about 1/4 inch thick.

6. 6

   Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown. Keep a close eye during the last 5–8 minutes. Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack. Enjoy with a glass of milk or store in an airtight jar for up to 1 week.
