3 cups gluten-free oats
3/4 cup white or brown sugar

pull it together:
Preheat your oven to 350* F. In a large bowl mix together butter + sugar until creamed. Stir in eggs and vanilla until smooth. Add in your peanut butter. Okay so it is pretty much a deliciously sweet peanut-y mess now, right? It is time to add the oats. Stir in one cup at a time to ensure cover.
