Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 120 milliliters Milk
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 150 grams Creamy peanut butter
- 240 grams Quick oats
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and unsweetened cocoa powder to the saucepan. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and begins to boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for about 1 minute without stirring. Be careful not to overcook it, as this will affect the final texture of the cookies.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract, salt, and peanut butter. Mix thoroughly until the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
Add the quick oats to the mixture and stir until evenly coated.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Flatten slightly if desired.
Let the cookies cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or until firm. To speed up the process, you can also place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, enjoy your no bake chocolate oat cookies. Store any remaining cookies in an airtight container for up to one week.
