Peanut butter is a pantry staple for many families. While this nut spread may be best known for the classic peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it is also an excellent baking ingredient thanks to its healthy fats. Here’s a heart-healthy version that makes a delicious holiday cookie: peanut butter oat bran cookies sweetened with maple syrup instead of processed sugar.
