Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar (packed)
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 60 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 250 grams Rolled oats (old-fashioned oats)
- 125 grams Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk over medium heat.
Constantly stir the mixture until the butter is melted and sugars are dissolved. Bring to a gentle boil and let it cook for 1 minute, continuing to stir.
Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
Add the peanut butter to the warm chocolate mixture and stir until the peanut butter is fully melted and incorporated.
Add the rolled oats to the saucepan and stir until evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared sheet. Aim for about 1.5-inch rounds.
Let the Chocolate Oat Drops cool at room temperature for 20–30 minutes or until fully set. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes.
Once set, transfer the drops to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 5 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
