Ingredients
Scale:
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chopped nuts (optional)
Chocolate chips or chunks (optional)
Shredded coconut (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet or a large plate lined with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar, cocoa powder, and milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a gentle boil (about 2-3 minutes).
Once boiling, let it cook for an additional minute without stirring until it thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Add the rolled oats to the peanut butter mixture and stir until they are completely coated.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to set.
Once set, enjoy your Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
