Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups quick oats
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients and milk: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, and milk, stirring until well mixed.
- Boil the mixture: Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, and allow it to boil for 1 minute while stirring continuously to prevent burning.
- Add peanut butter and vanilla: Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate oats: Add the quick oats to the mixture and stir thoroughly until all oats are evenly coated with the chocolate-peanut butter mixture.
- Form cookies: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper, spacing them out to avoid sticking as they set.
- Let cookies set: Allow the cookies to cool completely at room temperature until they are firm and set, which usually takes about 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- Use quick oats for best texture and faster setting.
- Ensure to boil the sugar and cocoa mixture for at least one minute to achieve proper consistency.
- You can substitute milk with any plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- For a crunchy texture, add chopped nuts or seeds to the oat mixture before setting.
