Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Oats (quick-cooking)
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Nonfat milk
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter (reduced fat or natural)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, cocoa powder, honey, nonfat milk, and salt.
Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it comes to a gentle boil.
Allow the mixture to boil for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly stir in the reduced fat peanut butter and vanilla extract until smooth and fully incorporated.
Add the oats to the mixture and stir until the oats are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or waxed paper.
Let the cookies cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes until firm. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Once set, transfer the cookies to an airtight container for storage. Keep them at room temperature or in the refrigerator for best results.
