Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Place the peanut butter, maple syrup, egg, baking soda and vanilla in a medium bowl and beat on medium speed with a hand mixer until combined.

Step 3

Stir in the quick oats and dark chocolate chips.

Step 4

Using a 1 1/2" cookie scoop, scoop the cookie batter (about a heaping tablespoon of batter) and place on the prepared baking sheet about an inch and a half apart.  Flatten the cookies slightly with the palm of your hand as they won't spread while baking.

Step 5

Bake for 10 minutes or until set, then remove from heat and sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the flaky sea salt and place on a wire rack to cool.

Step 6

Serve and enjoy!
