In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, milk, and cocoa powder. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly to ensure it doesnβt scorch.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until well combined and smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats with the chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly until the oats are completely coated in the chocolate mixture.
Let the mixture cool slightly for about 5 minutes, so itβs easier to handle.
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Using clean hands, take small portions of the mixture and form them into log shapes (approximately 2 to 3 inches long). Place the logs onto the prepared baking sheet.
Once all the logs have been formed, let them set at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, or refrigerate for 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Serve immediately or store the oatmeal logs in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to 1 week.
