INGREDIENTS
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter, no sugar added
- ⅓ cup maple syrup, or honey
- 2 cups quick oats or rolled oats, certified gluten free if needed
- 4 tablespoons cocoa powder, pure, no additives
- ⅓ cup oat milk or almond milk, or your favorite plant based milk
- 3 tablespoons desiccated coconut
- 2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt sea salt
INSTRUCTIONS
- Allow the peanut butter to come to room temperature, it needs to be warm and easily mixed with other ingredients. I recommend microwaving it for 30 seconds or more or heating it up in a small saucepot over low heat until it has almost ‘’pourable’’ texture.
- When peanut butter is ready, stir in maple syrup and vanilla. Follow with oats, cocoa powder, salt, and coconut. Pour in oat milk and stir to combine.
- Scoop about 1 ½ tablespoon size cookie mixture onto a baking sheet forming uniform balls and gently pressing down. You can shape these cookies as you like, just don't let them be too thick. You can even turn these no-bake cookies into small energy balls.
- Let chill in the fridge for 40-60 minutes. Enjoy these no bake oatmeal chocolate cookies with a hot mug of coffee or a tall glass of creamy milk.

NOTES
- After refrigerating you can keep the cookies stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days. Anything after that I recommend the texture will be different and dry. I suggest keeping them refrigerated.
- Just be sure to avoid freezing them for too long as this can cause the cookies to become overly hard or lose their flavor.
- We like to use sugar-free peanut butter and maple syrup instead of refined sugar here. Some oats do contain sugar, so be sure to get the real deal.
- Achieving the ideal texture and consistency for no bake oatmeal cookies largely depends on the accuracy of your ingredient measurements. Unlike baked cookies, the lack of baking in this recipe means that the ratio of ingredients plays an even more significant role in the final product.
