So, I've been trying some baking stuff using some of Dylan Hollis's easier recipes he's featured. I recently made a batch of the "Magic Peanut Butter Cookies" he showed off here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/UBXSCQYm61Q No flour, just 1c peanut butter, 1/2c sugar, and an egg.

They taste great, but the texture is...wrong. Obviously without flour they aren't going to be chewy like traditional peanut butter cookies, but I'm trying to think of what I could do to add a bit more body to the cookies. And yes, I could just try a normal peanut butter cookie recipe, but for reasons I can't actually explain I am not wanting to do that.

My idea is to try adding some quick oats to the mix, to give it that body/chew that they're missing. But I don't know if that'll actually work. Like, I don't know what actually "cooks" the oats in stuff like oatmeal cookies, and I don't know if the fairly minimal liquid content in these cookies will be enough.

If this doesn't sound like the worst idea people have ever heard, I'll probably try making another batch of the recipe, splitting it in half and adding half a cup of quick oats to one, and a quarter cup to the other (so that would be 1c equivalent, or 1/2c equivalent ratio wise) and bake them off to see if it is going to work. I don't know if the baking temp/time should be changed though (recipe calls for 350f for 10 min).

Any advice?

(sorry in advance for the weird question, new to this subreddit. also they don't seem to have a "but why though" flair option)
