No-Bake Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

A chewy, chocolatey delight that comes together easily without an oven, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup milk (or dairy-free milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Get your situation ready: Grab a large mixing bowl and a medium saucepan, with wax paper or parchment ready.
  2. Melt the good stuff: In the saucepan, combine the sugar, milk, and cocoa powder. Bring to a gentle boil for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the peanut butter: Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Toss in the oats and salt: Stir until all oats are coated in the chocolate mixture.
  5. Scoop and chill: Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper or parchment and chill for 30-60 minutes until set.
  6. Taste test time! Enjoy your chewy, chocolaty cookies after they have set.

Notes

For a healthier option, consider using coconut sugar or maple syrup. Substitute peanut butter with sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
