Skillet Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
This skillet cookie is sweet, chewy, and packed with wholesome goodness—it’s everything we love about a classic cookie, baked into one big, golden, gooey masterpiece.
Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 ripe banana, peeled and mashed
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg white
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raisins
- ½ cup toasted walnuts or pecans, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Liberally mist an 8- to 10-inch skillet with oil spray and warm over low heat. Add peanut butter and stir with a rubber spatula until melty and smooth (it will happen pretty fast). Stir in mashed banana and maple syrup until well blended. Turn off heat and let cool for about 10 minutes (so eggs don’t cook when you add them in).
- Once cooled, mix in egg, egg white and vanilla, and stir until smooth. Lastly, blend in oats, baking soda and salt. Smooth out batter evenly on the bottom of skillet with spatula. Stir in raisins and optional nuts, if using.
- Transfer to oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, taking it out on the shorter end if you like a gooier cookie and leaving it in for the full time if you like a firmer, chewier cookie. (If using a smaller baking dish or skillet, you may want to leave in for 1 to 2 more minutes since it will be thicker.) Cut into thin slices or you can also cut into quarters, then slice each quarter into thirds.
- Serve with optional whipped cream or ice cream on top!
Notes
• You can swap in any nut butter that you like, including almond, cashew, soy nut, or walnut butter.
• You can use honey in place of maple syrup for your sweetener. You can also use a sugar substitute (or sugar free maple syrup) to cut back on calories and added sugar.
• Adjust your cook time based on your preferred texture—aim for the shorter range of the cook time for a softer, gooier cookie. Go for the full cook time if you like a crispier cookie.
• If you’re following a gluten-free diet, be sure to carefully read the packaging for each ingredient, especially the oats (buy certified gluten-free oats). While these foods are inherently gluten-free, gluten can sometimes be added during processing for a variety of reasons, including for flavor and consistency.
