Indulge in these rich and chewy no-bake chocolate oatmeal cookies, perfect for a sweet treat without the oven.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups oats
Method
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder over medium heat. Stir continuously until the mixture comes to a boil, then let it cook for 1.5 to 2 minutes until the sugar is completely dissolved. Remove from heat.
Mix in the peanut butter and vanilla extract into the warm chocolate mixture, stirring until everything is smooth and well blended. Add the oats, ensuring they are well coated with the chocolate mixture.
Spoon the oat mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper, allowing them to cool and firm up for about 15 minutes until they can maintain their shape.
