Peanut butter is another ingredient that I don't often bake with. Do you? It really worked wonderfully in these little biscuits. The biscuit itself is simple with a slight hint of peanut butter. What really sets them off is the sweet glaze and the studs of roasted peanuts.
Ingredients for Biscuit
1 1/2 cup plain flour
1/2 self raising flour
1 cup rolled (porridge) quick oats
125g unsalted butter
1/2 cup caster sugar
1/3 cup honey
2 tbsp crunchy peanut butter
Ingredients for Glaze Topping
3/4 cup icing sugar
25 unsalted butter, melted
1 tbsp water
1 cup roasted unsalted peanuts, finely chopped
Method
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees (fan-forced) and line 2 baking trays. Sift the flours into a bowl and stir in the oats; set aside. In a saucepan, combine the butter, sugar, honey and peanut butter and stir over medium heat until melted together. Add this to the flour and oat mixture; stir until combined. Roll heaped tablespoons of mixture into balls. Arrange on prepared trays and press lightly to flatten. Bake for 10 minutes. Cool on trays. To make the topping, combine icing sugar, butter, and water in a bowl. Stir until smooth. Dip top of cookies in glaze topping and then dip them into the finely chopped nuts. Let glaze and nuts set; then serve.

mmm peanuts and honey - sounds good to me!
ReplyDeleteThere is probably only one food in this world that I do not like and that is peanut butter. I have never tried it in cooking simply because I do not like it, but I would be interested in trying these biscuits never the less. Diane
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I have never baked with peanut butter but am looking at a couple of recipes for next week - great minds must think alike!
ReplyDeleteYour biscuits look great and I love the idea of the honey
I'm so glad I have never been one who is alergic to penuts, I love them! This is definately a winner!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your support on my blog, I really appreciate it :) I'm glad you like the picture - I'm trying to get better at photography - I'm a begginer!!!
Ooh I love peanut butter and my mum loves PB cookies so perhaps I'll make this for her! :D
ReplyDeleteI've never tried peanut butter and honey but will now! I am fond of a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Wonder what else it would go well with?
ReplyDeleteBrittany, tes petits biscuits ont l'air absolument délicieux. Avec ce glaze en plus...
ReplyDeleteTrès jolie recette! J'adore ta présentation; tes biscuits sont si mignons et alléchants! Caro xxx
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter in cookies! Yours look delicious, the glaze sounds like a very tasty idea.
ReplyDeleteI also love peanut butter in cookies, in fact I think it's at it's best in a cookie... and that glaze is genius!
ReplyDeleteThey are just terrible ! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter but I find that if I bake too much with it, it puts me off. Every once in a while though, I have to make something with it. I bet the honey combination went over well!

ReplyDeleteAh. These look amazing! I love cooking/baking with peanut butter.
ReplyDeleteThey looks just perfect! I like to bake peanut butter in cookies too! They give a nice flavor to them!
ReplyDeleteMy 2 favourite for flavour in cookies are peanut butter - I love the crunch and Nutella - just because it's nutty & chocolaty ( oops! have I spelt that correctly)
ReplyDeleteThose seem quite decadent with that glaze but very yummy! I don't do a lot of baking with peanut butter but it's always good with something chocolatey.
ReplyDeleteI don't bake with peanut butter either, as it is not one of my favourites! But I did bought a bottle two months ago to bake something and it is still "sitting" in my pantry! The cookies with the glaze look very good!
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter and would put it on everything if I could! :) (I had some on my english muffin this morning!) These cookies look very tasty, especially with the glaze.
ReplyDeleteI think if I could I would put peanut butter on everything! This looks like a winner for sure :)
ReplyDeleteYou have a very nice blog. These biscuits sound delicious Brittany.
ReplyDeleteCheers~
You an absolutely delightful baking site! I am enjoying reading your posts. They are lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe glaze on these cookies sound splendid!
xx,
First of all, this recipe is awesome! Love peanut butter anything!! Second of all, it's high time we met! We follow a lot of the same blogs, we both love to bake, we both LOVE things that are French!!
ReplyDeleteI don't bake much with peanut butter but Hubby loves the stuff so maybe I should start. These cookies look like a great place to start!
ReplyDeleteOh, my! These look really good. I adore peanuts and peanut butter so I'll vote twice for these. Your recipe is a treasure. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteun pur bonheur pour des papilles aussi gourmandes que les miennes
ReplyDeletebonne soirée
Love these - they look magnificent. I don't eat much peanut butter so I don't tend to cook with it either, but it tastes good?
ReplyDeleteI don't often bake with it but when I do it makes me happy! These are scrumptious treats - love the peanut glaze too - such a nice touch. Thanks for stopping by my site - yours is charming!f
ReplyDeleteI should bake with peanut butter a lot more often. When I do, I am happy about it. I use several of the nut butters, almond and cashew. I have to start making my own.
ReplyDeleteJ'adore ce genre de gourmandises.
ReplyDeleteJ'en mangerai avec plaisir.
See soon.
I do like to use PB but only in small quantity in order not to over power the dessert. Your recipe indicates the perfect amount for me to consider the recipe ;o)
ReplyDeleteI did the same in reducing the PB in my last Chocolate frozen pie...remember ;o)
Thanks for sharing a cookie with us Brittany.
Ciao for now,
Claudia

This looks spectacular. You have me salivating. I want to try these soon. I love the glaze and the peanuts on top and it makes them soooo pretty too. Enjoy your sunny weather!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love peanut butter and I love honey - this is the perfect cookie for me. I've baked with peanut butter a few times and it always turns out well.
ReplyDeleteoats and peanut butter--this is practically a health food! i find that i don't use peanut butter very much in baking either, and more often than not, chocolate is involved as well. i like how the protein-packer gets center stage here!
ReplyDeleteI don't bake with peanut butter usually but I would love to try it. The glaze on these looks very tempting.
ReplyDeleteOh peanut butter anything = YUM
ReplyDeleteBut this!
Too, too over-the-top deliciousness!!!
