Print Recipe

Enjoy these quick and easy no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, featuring a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of peanut butter. Perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings without the need for an oven, these treats are a delightful and simple dessert option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3 cups quick-cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, unsweetened cocoa powder, unsalted butter, and milk. Place over medium heat, stirring continuously until the butter melts and the sugar dissolves (3-5 minutes). Bring to a rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute without stirring.
  2. Remove from heat and stir in the creamy peanut butter until melted. Add vanilla extract and salt, mixing well. Gradually fold in the quick-cooking oats until fully coated.
  3. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly if desired. You should have approximately 24 cookies.
  4. Allow cookies to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour to set. Alternatively, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
  5. Once set, enjoy your cookies! Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness. Optionally, drizzle melted chocolate or sprinkle sea salt on top before they set.

Notes

  • Measure ingredients accurately for best results.
  • Use quick-cooking oats for optimal texture.
  • Customize with mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  • For a less sweet cookie, reduce sugar slightly.
  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk.
