NOTES
- After refrigerating, store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Beyond that, the texture may change and become dry, so it’s best to refrigerate them.
- Avoid freezing for too long, as this can make the cookies hard or affect their flavor.
- We prefer sugar-free peanut butter and maple syrup over refined sugar.
- Check that your oats are pure, as some contain added sugar.
- The right texture and consistency for no-bake oatmeal cookies depend on accurate ingredient measurements. Since this recipe isn’t baked, the ingredient ratios are crucial to the final result.
