Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1/2 cup Salted Butter consider using unsalted butter if you prefer to control salt levels.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar coconut sugar is a great substitute for a healthier twist.
  • 1/2 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder switch to Dutch-process cocoa for a smoother taste.
  • 1/2 cup Milk almond or oat milk can work beautifully as a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract using pure vanilla will create a more aromatic treat.
For the Creamy Element
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter try almond or sunflower butter for a change in flavor.
For the Chewy Texture
  • 3 cups Quick Oats remember, old-fashioned oats won’t deliver the same results, so stick with quick oats.

  • spoon
  • cookie scoop or spoons

Step-by-Step Instructions for Easy No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat Cookies
  1. Prepare the baking surface by lining two baking sheets with parchment paper or arrange 29 cupcake liners on the countertop.
  2. In a medium saucepan, add salted butter, granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk. Mix and cook over medium heat for 3–5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Raise the heat slightly, bring to a boil and let it boil without stirring for a full minute.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract, creamy peanut butter, and quick oats until well combined.
  5. Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the sheets or liners, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
  6. Allow cookies to sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
  7. Once firm, transfer cookies to an airtight container for storage.
