Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 375° F.
2. Beat together oil and peanut butter. Then add in eggs, sugar, and vanilla and beat until mixed. Stir in coconut.
3. In a separate bowl mix together oats, flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir this into the peanut butter mixture.
4. Drop onto a greased baking sheet in 1 1/2 tablespoons globs. Gently press to flatten and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool on a cooling rack, and don’t spoil your dinner.
You might want to switch the oil for apple sauce to decrease the overall calories. A teaspoon of cinnamon is also great in this.
