Description
A delicious and easy no-bake cookie made with peanut butter, oats, and chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3/4 cup creamy natural or regular peanut butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup Dutch-process or natural, unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup quick oats
Instructions
- Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a medium saucepan, add the peanut butter, coconut oil, honey, and maple syrup. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until bubbles just start to simmer on the bottom of the pan (don’t let the mixture come to a boil).
- Remove from the heat and stir in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt until well-combined.
- Add the oats and stir until evenly combined. Spoon or scoop the no-bake cookie batter into mounds on the prepared baking sheet. (I use a #40 cookie scoop.) Optional: lightly flatten the mounds with the back of the cookie scoop or spoon, if desired.
- Place the pan in the fridge and let the cookies set up and cool, about an hour. The cookies can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature, keeping in mind that the cookies will soften quite a bit the longer they are at room temperature.
Notes
- For best results, sift the cocoa powder before adding it to the mixture if it is lumpy.
